“I could tell you about Brian Suda emailing about some crazy XSLT/SPARQL stuff he did by scraping his drinking buddies, then running a search query and cross-referencing the hReviews with his XFN list. He was attempting to show how he could get a search result of “trusted” reviews all based on the microfomats we've implemented. I didn't have a clue as to what he was talking about. :-)

But that's the beauty of it! Something I'm calling “oblivious development”. I've always looked at microformats as “planting seeds” that later grow into things you never even thought of. microformats are so easy to sprinkle in, that as designer I can plant the stuff that later someone like Brian Suda can do insane things with. I love that. I don't understand the stuff that Brian was doing - but I don't have to.” Dan Cederholm, Cork’d
