You may have to upgrade the lillypad to a some sort of seeweed though. Definitley keen on Microformats. I believe that the next version of Firefox has built in support for hCard, hCalendar and others. Looking at a news item as structured data has potential for syndication even if it is just round a network of loosely related sites at first. The fact that the data is structured or marked up in a certain way does not mean that it has to be displayed in the same way from site to site either. Which is nice.

You could embed your author's credentials and signature, keywords, geocoding etc while providing a news items in a preset pattern which would make them easier to grab by another site and spreading your billable content far and wide. I suppose if you were to take this a bit further the information in the microformat could mean that ads could follow your content around, cropping up wherever it does. Count the click-throughs or views and bill accordingly. Advertisers would then be in a position to sign up to advertise with the big names or the niche specialists whichever suited them best.
