tantek: HTML, vCard and iCalendar are now all gov.uk approved standards. :)

tommorris: excellent! doesn't take much to go from HTML, vCard, iCalendar to h-card and h-event :)

the W3C giving HTML5 Recommendation status means that is now an actual standard as far as they are concerned.
#
tommorris
oh, not just HTML. The government also previously approved URLs accessible over HTTP 1.1 as a standard for "Persistent resolvable identifiers".
#
tommorris
And UTF-8 as a standard for "cross platform character encoding".
#
tantek
tommorris: did you see my blog post about URL was previously called UDI?

tantek
(just published a few hours ago)

tantek
also, I wonder what they would need to endorse h-card and h-event explicitly for embedding vCard and iCalendar information directly inline *in* HTML.

Interesting.
#
tommorris
Not sure about that.

tantek
I mean we can produce a "stable" spec for each at a "dated" URL if they need that. We already have the open licensing and openly developed parts.

tommorris: we should probably figure out a good explicit shutdown path for the mailing lists. If you have suggestions, please add that to the to-do.

tantek

good day #microformats - based on the nearly unanimous adoption of u-in-reply-to and u-syndication in the indiewebcamp community (publishing sites, consuming sites), I've upgraded them both to core
