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

>> 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.

Well, why I'd prefer not to "go it alone" is for the very fact of not having
the whole group in vet and support it...

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. :-)
