AJAX doesn't change anything about the representation of data.

You could use XMLHttpRequest to retrieve a page and then run an XSLT
or XPath expression on the returned page in order to extract
microformats.

Alternately you could use DOM access methods to get at the data.


It really is no different from handling them with Javascript inside a
page.
