 hfeed (hAtom) is a good candidate, however, one thing is lacking...the key concept of a q/a.  The value of a q/a format is for agregating questions and answers.  If hAtom can indicate that it's contents are q/a it would be perfect.

	==Interview Questions and Answers==		==Interview Questions and Answers==

	A lively discussion on [http://www.quirksmode.org/blog/archives/2007/07/should_intervie_1.html\| Quirksmode] didn't resolve the issue, but the most convincing argument was made by Eric Myers at comment #7. The answer to a question is semantically a blockquote. The question itself is just text, assuming the author asked the question, so a paragraph is what's called for. Combine that with comment #13, which suggest the use of EM to provide a different voice for the question, and you're halfway there. What remains is to work in the names of the speakers. The CITE tag isn't ideal for identifying the speaker (it's not quite a reference to another source), but it's the only tag that makes sense with a blockquote. That just leaves a tag for the identity of the interviewer. But since the interviewer is also the author, the byline at the top of the page should do the trick. So to sum up, here's a proposed solution:		A lively discussion on [http://www.quirksmode.org/blog/archives/2007/07/should_intervie_1.html Quirksmode] didn't resolve the issue, but the most convincing argument was made by Eric Myers at comment #7.

	If it is important that the format be portable across sites, then I would also propose adding class="question" in the P tag and class="answer" in the blockquote, although I tend to think the format is cleaner without those classes.

			* The content model for <code><blockquote></code> is <code>(%block;\|SCRIPT)+</code>. That is, it may only contain the <code><script></code> element (I wonder why?) and block level elements such as <code><p></code>. Inline elements like <code><cite></code>, and CDATA are not allowed directly within a <code><blockquote></code>. I've fixed the example to be a valid fragment.
