Markup feeds with microformats2

[MTRNord]

well I got a schema.org based WIP commit MTRNord@8b91315 @non-Jedi Not sure if that fits their needs (?)

@MTRNord: That's great! But it definitely wouldn't close this issue.

The philosophy behind microformats is a lot different than schema.org, it's the more established technology in the semantic web field, and it's also not in any way technically inferior to microdata (which schema.org builds on). The philosophy behind microformats is that web standards should be built/specced in a collaborative, open way for the needs of the community (through W3C). Schema.org was kinda just handed down to us from on high. This is why the indieweb uses microformats rather than schema.org.

I in no way want to discourage you from adding schema.org markup. A page without semantic markup gaining semantic markup is always a positive! But in the future, I'd like to encourage you to consider going with microformats over other semantic markup technologies.

actually I take back what I said about microformats coming from W3C. The W3C recommendation for semantic web is RDFa; take that as you will.
