Thanks! The Microformats app might even make its way into the Pinax  
project (a collection of pre-built generic Django applications for  
common web-application functionality). Early days yet...

I've updated the feedback page and included a suggested fix for the  
problem on FFx and Opera. However, IE and Safari both seem to have  
more fundamental problems with the javascript. Unfortunately, my lunch  
time isn't long enough for me to spend the time required to find out  
what all the opaque javascript errors from IE mean. Plus, lunch  
combined with debugging IE javascript errors is likely to cause  
indigestion... :-P

I personally use both hg and git. GitHub (and bitbucket for hg) are  
cool because of the community related aspects of the service. Git  
seems to (currently) have more traction but I suspect both will be  
around for a long time to come.
