[uf-discuss] Automatic conversion of XML to microformat and vice versa; recommendation for handling XML attributes?

[David Janes]

And in particular, have a look at XOXO Rest Datatypes [1]. There's
probably more work that could be done here to model typed values (i.e.
"12000 meters") amongst other things; maybe you're the right person
;-)

Regards, etc...
