www.microformats.org Let's talk about 'em. I have very little experience with them, though I get the basic concept - standardize the way common chunks of information are marked up. I.e. vcards, calendar items, etc. Seems like a good idea, though it does add quite a bit to your markup it seems. Anyway, discuss: |

Care to elaborate? The only thing that's holding me back is that they're obviously made by engineering types when I'm someone in between. Far too many acronyms.

Embedding meta-data that can be parsed programatically is good, but the way they are going about it is bad. It's like a poor mans XML substitute. That said I understand why they're doing it this way. |
