[uf-discuss] AJAX Pages and Microformats.

[Stephen Farrell]

Hi Pedro,

One compelling use of microformats is client-side integration.  For 
example, a Firefox plugin might scan the rendered page for vcards and 
turn them into links in the organization's directory.  Another might 
scan for vevents and provide a composite view of the events on a page 
and your calendar.  Also, the "Live" (Ray Ozzie) Clipboard can recognize 
microformatted content and allow you to copy&paste it from the web page 
onto other desktop or web apps.

In all of these examples, the "crawler" is an included script or browser 
plugin looking at the same dynamic page content as the user.
