[uf-discuss] Visible Data...a Microformat requirement?

[Dr. Ernie Prabhakar]

Hi Mike,

Your always welcome to use HTML class name semantics or other  
microformat-inspired technologies in your private applications.   
However, that is a different thing that calling it a "microformat"  
and engaging this whole group in vetting and supporting it.

If you think this could be a great solution to an existing problem, I  
encourage to just go ahead and implement it.  As long as you don't  
call it a microformat, feel free to experiment. :-)
