@aaronpk @yoanngrange Isn’t it all still defined with class names? How would a tool know that an unknown class name is defining data?

@LeaVerou @yoanngrange That was part of the v2 change, only prefixed class names indicate data now. See http://microformats.org/wiki/microformats2#microformats2_design for more

  @LeaVerou @yoanngrange I believe the research was all documented on the #microformats wiki microformats.org/wiki/microform…

  @aaronpk @yoanngrange I find that hard to believe. How was this tested? Is it a case of “I haven’t seen conflicts, ergo they do not exist"?

  @LeaVerou @yoanngrange In practice it hasn't been invasive at all. The prefixes haven't conflicted with anything else in the wild yet.

  @aaronpk @yoanngrange …especially given that we’re talking about single letter prefixes + a hyphen here, like "e-". Seriously??

  @aaronpk @yoanngrange Still, it’s pretty invasive to assume that an author class is part of a microformat because it’s using a given prefix
