Questions and Answers
Purpose
The "question-answer" microformat proposes to formalize the relationships between questions and answers (including "FAQs") published within a single HTML document (and possibly a set of documents). Such formalization should allow for reuse of questions and answers in new contexts, e.g. search engines, IM bots, etc.
Multi-page FAQs

Possible solution (tentative class-names):

hFeed
FAQs could be marked up as, or using a variant of, hFeed, with the question being the entry title and the answer the content. Andy Mabbett
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. Taylor Cowan
