[uf-new] Microformats for Slide Show/Presentations - hShow, hSlide - State-of-the-Art?

[Gerald Bauer]

Hello,

   Thanks for your thoughts.

>  My question would be why is a microformat needed?

   Simply to interoperate and make authoring tools and projection
tools work together because they can rely on a common microformat.

  How is this different from hAtom or hSlice? hAtom saying "this
content is a web feed" and hSlice saying "this content is a web
slice". Am I missing something? Any insight appreciated.

  Cheers.
