It's done - we have now a simple microformats implementation in Dapper.
And know what?

Does Tim Berners Lee's Blog support Microformats ...
... not natively - but now it does with a API I created with Dapper
and the newest modifications! hAtom and hCard :))

You find a article on my blog:

Feedback wanted!
Cheers,

Sebastian
