I'm currently away at South By South West, but will try to
get a  
message back to Amit and the team to see if I can get some
specific  
information about what they've done, or have him post here
to explain  
more specifically about how microformats are used in the
release.

If anyone wants to quick-fire any burning questions at me
then go for  
it, I'll make the guys aware of what people want to know.

Cheers,

Ben (wearing my Yahoo hat)

In the coming weeks, we'll be releasing more detailed
specifications  
that will describe our support of semantic web standards.
Initially,  
we plan to support a number of microformats, including
hCard,  
hCalendar, hReview, hAtom, and XFN. Yahoo! Search will work
with the  
web community to evolve the vocabulary framework for
embedding  
structured data. For starters, we plan to support vocabulary
 
components from Dublin Core, Creative Commons, FOAF, GeoRSS,
MediaRSS,  
and others based on feedback. And, we will support RDFa and
eRDF  
markup to embed these into existing HTML pages. Finally, we
are  
announcing support for the OpenSearch specification, with
extensions  
for structured queries to deep web data sources.
