"These feeds are bare-bones Microformatted html documents with support for looking at our bookmarks in several different ways: as plain bookmarks in xFolk, as blog entries in hAtom, as reviews in hReview, and as all of the above combined."

"Considering how useful it could be to transform the XHTML based web to another format or to use XHTML as an XML data store, it is surprisingly tricky to transform XHTML. Most XSLT developers need to be told the secrets of XHTML transformation in order to

"xFolk is a simple and open format for publishing collections of bookmarks. It better enables services for improving user experience and sharing data in web-based bookmarking software."
