<div id="RTEContent">Hey, I created a little description: http://www.merkwelt.com/people/stan/marioKartDSMicroformat.html So I guess I can write a little greasemonkey script that pop's up a message when it finds a marioKartDS-ID element, probably showing the hCard properties as well. Maybe linking to the player-stats if they are available from nintendo. Does that make sense?

What I'm not clear on is how > an application/robot could make sense of that? Well, an application or robot could scan the page for tags/elements that have the class "marioKartDS". When it does, it then checks to see if that element has a "title" attribute... if it does, it uses that... if not, it uses the innerHTML. Make sense?! Here's some JavaScript pseudo code: var elements = document.getElementsByClassName("marioKartDS"); if ( elements && elements.length ) { // We found some marioKartDS Microformats! for (var i=elements.length-1; i>-1; i--) { var code = elements[i].getAttribute("title"); if ( ! code ) { code = elements[i].innerHTML; } // #### TODO #### Do something with the code you found. (Let's play :-) ) } } Does that help? > Say I would be using the > geocode microformat as well and the "cuisine" microformat I would be able to > find people that like vietnamese cuisine, live in new york and have a mario > kart DS. Which kind of application do the aggregation and would allow me to > run a query like that? There may not be one that exists yet. You could write your own (if you are a software engineer). You could make a webcrawler. Or you could make a user script (using greasemonkey). Etc. Also, various people on this lists are probably working on stuff like this. (So it may be just a matter of waiting a little while.)
