Remembering the Future

The future of semantic markup is the tunnelling of semantics, unseen, inside harmless looking, presentation-oriented XHTML.

I'm thinking microformats and I'm thinking things like XOXO and HMML and RDDL

Here is the thing: with span and div elements, it is possible to encode any XML instance into a valid XHTML instance. It is a trivial matter to reverse the process to get the explict element-oriented XML back out.
