[uf-discuss] Flock + Microformats

[Farndon, Tony]

Hi Chris

Be sure NOT to show them the extension source code, they will scornfully
frown at the immaturity of it :-). Mind you I knew absolutely nothing
about xul and javascript before june of this year so you can't expect
too much! 

Gives an idea of how easily it could fit into the blog editor though.

I have a meeting with the Flock folks today (yes, my former employer!)
and I'll drop them a hint -- as I did when I worked there -- about their
opportunity in being the first (and best!) in supporting microformats
natively.

Thanks for the tip!

Chris
