Hi Manu,

I took a SWEO action item this week to document possible 
mappings from microformats to RDF. I won't do the whole 
set, though, just the "core" 10-15 ones. I don't think 
there is going to be a single per-MF mapping (e.g. there
are various competing vcard rdf vocabs, I personally map
hcards to FOAF where possible, then there are two rdf/ical
specs, multiple tagging vocabs, at least two resume ones,
etc.), but it's clearly good to create a list of *possible* 
mappings, so that the GRDDL community has something to build
their XSLTs on. I'll add a link to [1] when I'm done.
