However I would like to hear more feedback from people designing microdata-like syntaxes (such as the microformat community) as well as from people consuming them. We've talked a little about microdata internally at mozilla and in general people seem to like it, but I still need to circulate the proposal more. However I definitely would like to see the Predefined vocabularies removed from the spec and instead let them fight on their own merits. I think they are completely independent to the rest of the spec and thus nothing would be lost by having them in their own spec. That said. I'd also be fine with putting the whole microdata spec into a separate specification, and let it fight on its own. / Jonas / Jonas
