[uf-discuss] microformats for normal people, like my mum

[Alex Faaborg]

I've been giving some thought to framing microformatted content as  
"attachments," along with a little paper clip icon.  This would  
resonate with users who are familiar with email, but on the downside,  
a lot of people have been trained that attachments=danger.
