Thanks, I was just wondering about that. What exactly is the relation  
between microformats.org and gmpg.org?   Is gmpg the official  
archives of mf.org decisions?  Does gmpg cover *more* than  
microformats?  Who owns it?  Who manages the evolution of XMDP and  
microformats? Is evolution even allowed?
