[Web4lib] Microformats

[Keith D. Engwall]

I'm curious as to what interest there is among the library community for
Microformats (http://microformats.org).
 
I'm still getting my head wrapped around them, but I think there's
potential for developing microformats for digital collections, brief
catalog records, etc.
