Dear all:
In terms of delicious and other social bookmarking applications,
xFolk represents a common format that will allow users to develop UI
hacks that work across systems. If you republish your links to your
blog using xFolk, these hacks will be available to you too.
Blogmarks and delirious users will find this already implemented, and
we are now seeking to add more bookmarking services that directly
support xFolk.
After interaction with the user community, we have published a new
iteration of xFolk, an xhtml microformat for social bookmarking, that
I first informed the list about a month ago. We are heading toward a
final release. Here's the announcement:
"xFolk is a simple and open format for publishing collections of
bookmarks. It better enables services for improving user experience
and sharing data in web-based bookmarking software. Providers can
view user efforts to create new services using xFolk-formatted data
as a sort of low-cost R&D."
and the link:

The linked article provides the URL for the new xFolk wiki. As
mentioned above, some of the areas we are actively exploring in the
wiki relate to javascript and server-based applications that can
consume and remix xFolk formatted web pages.
We'd welcome your input.
Bud
