Good questions! I did not even realize that there was a microdata format until I read your e-mail. I wonder if you could just change your HTML DTD to an HTML5 and go from there? In other words, change this: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> ... to this: <!doctype html> <html> From what I know, most HTML4 strict elements should work just fine under HTML5. You don't need to worry about changing all the tags to <section> or <header> (for example)... You could do that later, but in the meantime you could start working with the microdata formats on specific elements. Anyway, just a thought. :) Great questions!
