Independent Data and Formatting with Microformats

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the web-fun dept.

IdaAshley writes to tell us IBM DeveloperWorks is running an article about how to best utilize microformats to embed data within standard XHTML code. From the article: "Microformats are a pragmatic approach to solving the issue of structured data on the Web. Is it as architecturally pure as XML-encoded data separated from its formatting through a mechanism such as XSLT style sheets? No. But I think this approach is a realistic middle step that will help build a more intelligent Web that is easier to use and provides better search and data integration."

    I wish the LISP community would finally stop whining and realize they're doing nothing we old farts haven't done in Turing machines!
