What software is available right now that uses this generic parsing model? Can you suggest a method by which we could test whether the parsing model used is actually generic, rather than bound to a specific fixed set of microformats? Such software could be incredibly handy in integrating RDF and Microformat data, so thanks for any pointers. cheers, Dan -- http://danbri.org/
