[microformats-discuss] Re: Blog post format challenge - content vs summary

[Bud Gibson]

boy, stay away from the list for a few days, and look what happens.

When I read this, I remember that atom took something like 2.5 years  
to complete and that there are still unresolved issues.

David's original idea seemed pretty simple to me, like he was solving  
a specific problem, multiple blog posts on an html page that he  
wanted to sort out.

I've tried to keep xFolk simple because I think the usefulness of  
microformats is inversely proportional to their complexity.   
Probably, the only extensions I would consider at this stage would be  
to say that a microformat embedded in an xFolk entry can be  
interpreted as applying to that entry in a specific way (although  
Tantek seems to be debating that, and I will come back to it tomorrow).

At any rate, proceed ahead as you see fit.  If you start to get mired  
in complexity, think about what it is you really want to achieve and  
cut back.
