Hmmm... as far as I can tell, there are a bunch of steps missing before any progress can be made on a cite microformat in particular. For one, the cite-examples page: http://microformats.org/wiki/cite-examples Needs an analysis of each example, along with the documentation of the implied schema from the example.

Yes it makes sense to re-use rel-tag for keywords. HOWEVER, judging from the examples on the cite-examples page right now, since NONE of them have "keywords", there is currently nowhere near enough justification for adding a notion of keywords to the cite microformat schema. > Along the same lines as > keywords, there is a property called 'GENRE' this works exactly like > keywords only there is a slightly more structured approach. See above. No evidence in examples. No reason to include it for now. > i have several more issues when it comes to IDENTIFIERS because they can > be of many types, ISBN, ISSN, URI, etc. most of these can be handled, > except in instances of some ambiguity. I believe everything you listed can be represented as a URI. Thus the "be of many types" issue appears to be a non-issue. > Once i get my notes in order i will post them to the Wiki, in the > mean-time i can field any questions via email off-list. At this point there is still significant work to be done on the cite-examples page, a little bit of clean-up on the cite-formats, and a lot of clean-up on the cite-brainstorming page. http://microformats.org/wiki/cite-examples http://microformats.org/wiki/cite-formats http://microformats.org/wiki/cite-brainstorming I plan on working on these in the next few days. As there is clearly a lot of interest in the a cite microformat, I suggest that anyone interested please join the IRC channel and hopefully we can have some rapid discussions there.
