Thanks for the comment, but I wasn't able to figure out what point you were trying to make. Were you saying that Microformats will develop to be a standard? If that was your point, I don't debate it; I expect it. But w/o disambiguation and a way to scale of the process, I think it will create a mess. Or are you saying that there won't be a mess because you don't think many pages will use Microformats? Again, I'm rather confused on your point. -- -Mike Schinkel http://www.mikeschinkel.com/blogs/ http://www.welldesignedurls.org/ _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
