@j9t In the 2000s there was concern about class name pollution through #microformats. (My 2007 take on the issue: https://meiert.com/en/blog/microformats-and-pseudo-namespaces/.) When you look at all the different microformat classes, would you think we (the community) eventually got this right? http://microformats.org/wiki/existing-classes (twitter.com/_/status/1411957614653677568)

@g16n ↩️ Just last Friday, I gave a talk about semantics. https://noti.st/gunnarbittersmann/R7Zna8/nuqjatlh-wejdich-aller-guten-dinge-sind-3 In which I’ve also mentioned microformats, but me thinks RDFa* with http://Schema.org is the better approach. *Forget microdata.

@kevinmarks ↩️ the parsing prefixes in microformats2 made this much less of a concern and also made parsers not need to hardcode the class names http://microformats.org/wiki/microformats2#microformats2_design (twitter.com/_/status/1411991070980952068)
