↩️ Wow, those numbers are so different from what I see in usage, they must not go very deep on those domains. I wish microformats was that dead sometimes, it would make some of our handling code a lot simpler. :).

[@rrlevering] Oh Microdata....why do you give me so many problems....human readable HTML annotation and machine-readable http://schema.org specs are always at odds

Who knows if that tool they used for parsing in that chart report actually parse for mf2
#
[tantek]
Also that reply from Ryan Levering is essentially saying their own crawls see a lot more microformats than that chart claims to see

The Web Almanac should release the structured data chapter soon.
#
capjamesg
There is some data in there about microformats usage.
#
[tantek]
capjamesg, do you know the methodology / code used by "The Web Almanac"?
#
[tantek]
capjamesg, how would you verify that they are using a compliant (passing tests) mf2 parser to come up with microformats usage?
#
capjamesg
Good question.
#
capjamesg
I can ask.

even if they were only looking at mf1, wordpress includes mf1 by default, so .4% of top 10M sites seems almost certainly wrong
