Hello Ben, Thank you for your comments,
I am thinking about microformats and Atom and Form that is made by users, such as RightFields(http://www.staggernation.com/mtplugins/RightFields/). Atom does not contain html:head, therefore Atom cannot use html:head/@profile and XMDP. This is the first problem. eRDF has the same problem. Recently, users can make their arbitary form but don't have a way of sharing the form. This is the second problem. Users don't have a way of sharing the data that is posted by the form that is made by user. I think the declaration of arbitrary resource descriptions is needed in web page or Atom feed. In order to share the data, I think "<a style="..." rel="..." href="...">...</a>" is needed. Also, in order to share the form, I think Schema is needed. Schema can validate the rage of the number and regex pattern of string. For example, <span class="latitude">75</span> is OK. But I am not sure <span class="latitude">255</span> is OK. Schema can define the range for programar to check. I think the simple schema is useful. For example, when user post atom entry, I think validating the microformats is useful.
