[uf-discuss] Live Writer and microformats

[Matt Augustine]

Yes, this is currently the case.  We are working on a solution, although I can't make any specific commitments.

>From what I've gathered, one of the reasons that some blogging platforms strip class attributes is to prevent users from marking up posts in a manner that uses existing CSS definitions to alter the layout of the page, hide ads etc.  One solution we've discussed is to create a white list of known microformat classes and to allow them.  What do you all think about this?  Any other suggestions?

I'm doing up a list of which blog and social networking platforms do and
don't support microformats. Sadly Windows Live Spaces seems to be one of
the non-supporting platforms. Can you confirm that Matt?

The only exceptions are for blogging platforms that don't allow class attributes in the HTML.  Unfortunately, there are many that don't, but that's another issue.
