    This Halloween as well as that awful film Halloween being on the BBC again they also promised Halloween II next week... dont worry I have plenty more repeats to chose from thanks to the miracle of satelite tv, something else not so scary happened the audio microformat hAudio reached version 0.8. The general consensus on the list is that hAudio 0.8 will be the final proposal, after a last round of talks, before hAudio gets moved on to Draft. hAudio will then become only the twelfth in a list of many exploratory discussions, to make it to Microformat Draft.

    hAudio-RSS has been updated to version 2, the code has been modified and does not contain any suspected anti-patterns (info being scraped from the head not visible). The biggest change is that hAudio-RSS is now licensed under a Creative Commons Public Domain License. This is because microformats.org have recently required all contributions on the microformats wiki have a public domain license, which personally I find is a smart move, Anybody can freely use microformats anywhere for anything and not have to worry about possible licensing or copyright infringements. hAudio-RSS is an extension of hAudio so I feel it should have the same license. There is also a free Template that you can download of the whole hAudio-RSS v2 markup also released into the Public domain which includes, XHTML 1.0 Strict document, CSS, Bookmarklet, Buttons and guidelines. Download hRSS-template.

    hAudio-RSS is causing a little flutter in the open media web community so much so that back in December it became part of a small discussion over at songbird nest called Portable Playlists and other POSH-ibilities presented (amongst others) by Tantek which was kindly recorded to video by Citizen Tara Hunt, so without any further rambling may I present Tantek's Demo.

    Mark Birbeck the Designer of RDFa has recently posted a couple of really good articles recently one about the first steps in adding Foaf to RDFa and a second one about using RDFa and Microformats. Both these articles has inspired me to write a little introduction about how to use the hcard microformat and extend it using RDFa.
