Hmmm the server of microformats is quite… not stable.

A thread from the microformats community which is not opposed to RDFa  
because there is no competition. Just one addressing more cases than  
the other. And it doesn't arm the browsers as well, because RDFa like  
microformats doesn't require any kind of actions from the browser.
At stake, there would be

	- authoring tools
	- RDFa parsing tools

RDFa Bookmarklets

RDFa Wiki with a list of implementations in PHP, Java, Python,  
Javascript, Firefox Plugins and XSLT
