[uf-discuss] attention microformat

[Ryan King]

Chris is right. The attention.xml effort has been a bit stalled. It  
had initially started as a Technorati initiative, but we'd like to  
move it to microformats.org. However, as we were moving it, we  
realized that it actually doesn't follow many of the microformats  
principles. So, discussion has started about how to make it more  
'microformat-y'.
