Microformats WordPress Plug-in
This is really cool. Structured data in RSS that machines (readers & search engines for example), can easily find while still being human readable. If you haven’t checked out microformats yet, you should, it’s gaining a lot of momentum. Microformats are structured data records formatted in XHTML. They could transform RSS from the rather simple “river of news” to a really powerful “content pipe” containing data consumers can parse, process and manage in creative way that won’t require a user’s intervention.
UPDATE Turns out the old structured blogging crew is behind this. Nice to see they’ve adopted microformats!

Jim, hi,
In response to your comment on the above linked post… you can download the plugins from http://structuredblogging.org/ if you like. Please note that these haven’t officially been announced yet and aren’t “final code”, so expect to encounter a bug or two!
Right now the version up there is 1.0pre7; that’s the first pre-announcement release. pre8 will go up in the next 24 hours, in time for the Syndicate conference announcement. Then there’ll probably be new versions every few days after that, as we get feedback about real-world issues…
