But the operator extension mentioned in this thread apparently has some support. Don't know what that support looks like though. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4106 > Quick search into Mozilla Bugzilla. > > # Both rdfa and microdata lead to nothing > https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=rdfa > https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=microdata I'll leave it up to the reader to draw conclusions from this. > # Microformat gives information. > https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=microformat > specifically > https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=377450 > > I do not see a lot of support for microdata so far > http://www.google.com/search?q=%22microdata+support%22 > http://www.google.com/search?q=%22microdata+implementation%22 > > rdfa has gained a lot of traction > http://www.google.com/search?q=%22rdfa+support%22 > http://www.google.com/search?q=%22rdfa+implementation%22 > > as microformats too. > http://www.google.com/search?q=%22microformat+support%22 > http://www.google.com/search?q=%22microformat+implementation%22 This doesn't surprise me at all given how new microdata is. It's not even in a last-call wd yet. As an aside: I don't really see microformats as a comparative technology to rdfa or microdata. Microformats are the actual vocabularies people build. RDFa, microdata, the HTML4 class/rel/etc attributes are the technologies you can build these microformat vocabularies on. Don't know if you intended to compare them as comparative technologies or not, just wanted to make my perception clear. / Jonas
