XHTML Modularization provides a structure for the creation of new markup languages through the extension of the XHTML Core modules and the use of the XHTML Module Framework. In some instances, people will want to create complete, proprietary markup languages through these mechanisms. In other instances, people may wish to create new, reusable modules that will be used by their organization or by others in the definition of markup languages. In either case, the mechanics of the modules added and the markup language definition are the same. This document describes the manner in which such modules are defined, and the way in which modules should be combined to create new markup languages.

XFN (XHTML Friends Network)

Much ado about relationships - Eric Meyer has announced XFN (XHTML Friends Network). This is what I would term as a stripped down implementation of FOAF. Now typically I would debate why anyone would want to create just another FOAF, but Eric made some good points. If we look at the adoption rate of FOAF you can see that is has been anything but a movement in the web scene. XFN hopes to remedy that situation through simplification and thus ease of use. I wish best of luck to Eric and crew, it’s not going to be easy… but at this point I would rather see something, anything, adopted than nothing at all.
