I think we're already talking about reverse-engineering what search engines and twitter/facebook/etc do. But I'm still all for proper standardization. Including driving towards good technical solutions. But given how small marketshare browsers in general have as metadata consumers, I think any standardization efforts would have to be driven by the current matadata consumers, like search engines and social networks. / Jonas _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
