This has been an on-and-off discussion that ought to be documented somewhere -- well, at least its progress. I wouldn't say that there's a total agreement on how it should be done, but here's my opinionated take:
If you know what you're looking for, you'll find it. If you don't know what you're looking for, why are you looking for it? Look at Tails (http://blog.codeeg.com/tails-firefox-extension) -- it finds everything it understands, and nothing else. It won't find hAtom, because it doesn't understand it. And it's perfectly fine -- if you don't hAtom, I don't want you to be looking for it. :DG< On 3/24/06, Breton Blake Slivka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I've done a bit of a search, and again, being new to the mailing list as > you are, I can't speak definitively on where the discussion currently > is, but there is a discussion about this topic listed in the mailing > list archives of November, which can be seen here: > > http://microformats.org/discuss/mail/microformats-discuss/2005-November/002022.html > > > > > Phil Haack wrote: > > Ah!
