Thom,
Last year, I brought up the idea of something I named "hprivacy" and
presented a very primitive hprivacy html proxy filter prototype with
three groups: pro, family, friends and public. See
http://microformats.org/discuss/mail/microformats-discuss/2007-April/009264.html
This is a tiny prototype that is not integrated with a tagged social
graph, so for now, I simulate the filtering by passing the group in the
URL. But you'll get the idea.
Some links have moved:
http://lebleu.org/projects/hprivacy/index.php (what the public sees)
http://lebleu.org/projects/hprivacy/index.php?group=family (what a
family member would see)
http://lebleu.org/projects/hprivacy/index.php?group=friends
http://lebleu.org/projects/hprivacy/index.php?group=pro
See the markup: http://lebleu.org/projects/hprivacy/hcard.html
(obviously, in real implementation, this would be pulled from a
non-public folder)
There didn't seem to be much interest on this list. Maybe because it's
not so much about data formats and/or because it's about marking up
content that is not public to anyone (microformats seems to have a bias
toward public content).
Let me know what you think.
Also, someone helped me design a cool logo: http://hprivacy.org
