Loqi [preview] [skwee357] #8693 Proposal: Elements for a more semantic web
#
aaronpk interesting that syndication of blog content is one of their first use cases mentioned
#
j​kingweb His premise for why microformats are hacky (class being a styling attribute) is incorrect, though.

[KevinMarks] https://microformats.org/2005/10/19/more-than-styling
