Hi, I came across the concept of "microsummaries" the other day, a system being implemented in Firefox that looks close enough to GRDDL to be worth a mention here: Microsummaries are regularly-updated succinct summaries of web pages. They are compact enough to fit in the space available to a bookmark label, provide more useful information about pages than static page titles, and are regularly updated as new information becomes available. [...] Microsummaries can either be provided by the page being summarized or generated by processing an XSLT stylesheet against the page. [...] Sites should be able to specify microsummaries by embedding metadata referencing microsummary generators into pages. For example, a site might embed the following <link> element into an HTML page: <link rel="microsummary" type="application/x.microsummary+xml" href="/index-microsummary.xml"> http://wiki.mozilla.org/Microsummaries I don't know if there is any opportunity to collaborate with the Firefox guys to get them to use some form of GRDDL rather then a new rel/type magic pair; but if there was, this would be a nice path towards adoption of GRDDL in a end-user browser...
