Notes"Anyway, hereās the question I want to put into the readerās mind: should one spend time and effort making a frontend into an informal API through microformats, or to instead spend it on building a fully supported API or data publishing system that exists and operates separately? I think my stance is clear - iām not against the theory of microformats, but iām certainly going to differ with anyone who thinks itās practical."Unfurl
