[uf-discuss] Live Writer and microformats

[Chris Messina]

This kind of delves into the "authoritative standards" doesn't it? And
how do you keep up with an ever-growing repository of microformats?

Obviously it can be done -- and it's something that we need,
especially if we're to get support for microformats into client-side
software... so isn't that where remote definitions/profiles come in?
Sorry for showing my ignorance here, but how would, for example,
Flock, (or better, Lucene) stay up-to-date with the most current
listing/definitions of all the available microformats?

What do you all think about this?  Any other suggestions?

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.
