[webkit-dev] New feature announcement - Implement HTML5 Microdata in WebKit

[Adam Barth]

Just so I understand, you're talking about the DOM APIs for
interacting with microdata, right?  I know there was some controversy
in the HTML working group about Microdata versus RDFa.  It's not 100%
clear to me which of those technologies will "win out" in the end, but
it seems valuable to implement this feature behind an ENABLE flag.
