The Zen of Microformats [@lesscode.org], via Simon:
To me, what’s exciting about microformats is the same thing that’s exciting about dynamic languages, REST, F/OSS, and other seemingly unconnected technologies and concepts: they are all evolving under the fundamental principle that you cannot adequately plan/design large systems upfront and expect them to be successful. That we don’t know anything until we’ve observed it. Respect for this simple truth leads to dramatic changes in how one builds and evaluates technology and you can see this happening to great effect (and with equally great results) in each of these communities.
But I still don't quite get what a microformat is.
