there's discussion in the thread, but the gist is that stuff like h-card is a decade-old spec without a single fully-formed consumer. mostly the same with h-entry. but instead of de-emphasizing these specs, they're at the top of the 'adopt indieweb' bits https://indieweb.org/Getting_Started

I still don't understand where this "without a consumer" is coming from, there are plenty of consumers of those, including the app I am typing this reply from.

  e.g. nearly everything built in the community that handles posts and wants to know a post's author is consuming it (webmention endpoints showing comments, readers, ...). It's basically always handled while implementing sth higher-level, and the things thus documented elsewhere.

  aha that explains the confusion then. The wiki pages clearly need updating because there are a *lot* more consumers than that.

  i mean, indieweb.org/h-card mentions exactly one consumer, which is telegraph, which you wrote and which is the one you're typing that reply from, right? microformats.org page lists 4 implementations microformats.org/wiki/h-card#Im… - of which 1 is dead and 1 only produces.
