[uf-discuss] An attempt at a lint tool for XFN, rel-tag etc

[Stephen Paul Weber]

Wow!  Nice!  You may want to make it allow standard rels (like home)
that are not microformats... it flagged some of my other stuff too
(like rel=comments), but that's part of what it's supposed to do I
guess :)  Out of curiosity, what license is on the code?  If it's ok,
it might be nice to use some of it to parse this stuff in JS in my own
scripts...
