I've been in contact with Steve Williams, Digg's Technical Lead for Infrastructure Development, and he's been very open to discussion. We've since cleared up the fact that MicroID is not a Microformat and I explained a bit about the uF process. He was very open to discussing the issue and has since fixed the blog entry: http://blog.digg.com/?p=108 Steve got the impression that MicroID is a Microformat from the microid.org blog, which states: "MicroID: A Microformat for Digital Identity" I have contacted Jeremie Miller and Peter Saint-Andre (authors for the current MicroID IETF document) to politely let them know about the differences between a Microformat and the work that they have done. I have also invited them to put MicroID through the uF process or create an RDFa vocabulary. I'll let this list know when I have gotten a reply from them. -- manu -- Manu Sporny President/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. blog: Intro to the Semantic Web in 6 minutes (video) http://blog.digitalbazaar.com/2007/12/26/semantic-web-intro _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
