hReview clarified

Yesterday at Webzine, Ryan King clarified something that was bugging me about the hReview microformat.

In the examples, the editorial content, or description, of the review was inside a blockquote element, which didn’t make sense to me since as a reviewer, you’re not quoting yourself.

Ryan explained that any tool consuming hReview will be looking for the fields, which are identified by class attribute values, not the element. So div is a legal wrapper element for the description as long as you identify it as the description by adding class="description".

There also some XSLT stylesheets for extracting data out of microformats:
