[uf-discuss] Microformats vs. CalDAV?

[Brian Suda]

The other great thing about exposing your data as microformats, is
that the data becomes Open Data. Will the general public have access
to the CalDAV? (probably not) and even if they did, it will probably
only serve-up .ics files... what if i don't want ICS? i need to then
hack that around to get it into the format that i want... if the data
were in the HTML to begin with, then i could EASILY convert that to
any format i wanted. Also, sites like http://pingerati.net/ will
happily take in hCalendar data and aggregate it, make your data more
valuable and easily slurped up by other providers - i don't see that
happening as easily with a CalDAV.
