Tuesday 25th Feb

 * Discussion about microformatted markup making it easier for feed readers to parse the html that they get in atom/rss
 * cweiske appears to be suggesting that we focus on APIs, rather than simply microformats.
 * Tantek found that ATOM is much bigger than just html for posts. “hence my Atom feed only has 3 items now, while my home page has 16.”
 * Discussion about atom/rss versus html + microformats. There were concerns about performance (lots of people querying an index.html page). Tantek points out h-feed (http://indiewebcamp.com/h-feed) in response.
