Kingsley Idehen proposed that we support Microdatata such as the one pasted below.

(the above uses the old ontology, so we'd need a version for the new one)

Dan Brickley pointed out

"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.)
