"What I'd rather see now, instead of gigantic mail threads in my inbox,
is a nice tight well-packaged and tested .js library that reads RDFa,
Microdata and sure Microformats2 as well. If half the angst about
'picking the winner' I see here could go into coding a format-agnostic
HTML reader in .js, we'd all be a better place.

Mo McRobers identified the following tasks:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xg-webid/2011Nov/0326.html

a. Spec how a WebID profile graph would look serialised in terms of Microdata
b. Spec how an application can process RDF/XML _and_ RDFa _and_ Microdata in a uniform fashion for the basic verification (i.e., public key description)
c. Spec how an application can process RDF/XML _and_ RDFa _and_ Microdata in a uniform fashion for arbitrary information, such as profile fields (display name, homepage, online accounts, etc.)

Stephane pointed out in an e-mail highlighted in the threads below that:

[[
Note that Gregg Kellogg is working on a microdata to RDF conversion algorithm [1], so once that spec is stable, and RDF libraries start to support it, we could add microdata to the spec with very minimal changes.
]]

Also of note is the comparison between RDFa, microdata and other formats (June 2011)

GoodRelations (for example) shows markup examples for both RDFa *and* Microdata (and others).

I think we can and should simply do similarly with WebID...
