This is great to hear.

Tom Morris has already kindly added any23 to the parsers page:

http://microformats.org/wiki/parsers

Could you list the specific microformats that are parsed by any23?

And even better, feel free to add any23 to the *-implementations pages
of the microformats that it supports, e.g. if it supports hCard, add
it to:

http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard-implementations#Open_Source

Thanks again for all your excellent work and for contributing to
