QuoteFocusing on microdata was a pragmatic decision. Supporting multiple syntaxes makes documentation for webmasters more complex and introduces more overhead in terms of defining new formats. Microformats are concise and easy to understand, but they don't offer an open extensibility mechanism and the reuse of the class tag can cause conflicts with website CSS. RDFa is extensible and very expressive, but the substantial complexity of the language has contributed to slower adoption. Microdata is the most recent well-known standard, created along with HTML5.

Spotted that a few days ago.  Nice of them to wait until we finished adding good relations to a bunch of stores.

Yeah - Google have had it in for me since I started banging Larry Page's wife.  He didn't give a shit, but Melissa Mayer got all jealous and started influencing the whole corporation's direction just to get back at me.
