If hand-coding semantic markup for search engines and browsers that can't take advantage of it is your thing, Jeremy Keith's got a tempest in a teapot just for you.

Jeff slams microformats, then admits he's using them anyway. I sympathize.

RDFa (“Resource Description Framework in attributes”) is having its five minutes of fame: Google is beginning to process RDFa and Microformats as it indexes websites, using the parsed data to enhance the display of search results with “rich snippets.” Yahoo!, meanwhile, has been processing RDFa for about a year. With these two giants of search on the same trajectory, a new kind of web is closer than ever before.
