[uf-discuss] hThing microformat ... or design pattern

[David Janes]

My intention is to stick to (1) analyzing existing behavior/use on the
web and (2) using the 80/20 rule. I think we'll be fine. If
compositing objects becomes an issue (for example, describing an Audi
with 4 Pirelli tires) then we'll hash it out.

Regards, etc...
