[uf-discuss] History Microformat

[Jeremy Boggs]

Hi List,

I thought it might be useful to move this to its own thread, instead  
of under the "dated-currency" thread. I hope that's ok.

Thanks Kevin. I've created the history-examples page (http:// 
microformats.org/wiki/history-examples) and am currently populating  
it with my research. I hope that I'm doing this right, but will be  
glad to make corrections or changes if I'm incorrectly following the  
process.

Best,
Jeremy
