I showed my work to Bill Lazar, who told me that Scott Allan Wallick’s new theme, Sandbox, available for Wordpress.com blogs, has hAtom baked in.

A couple of weeks ago, Elliot Rusty Harold asked why don’t we embed XML vocabularies in XHTML instead of using microformats. He gave the example of his conference calendar.

Todd’s released a new version of XML Nanny, his parsing and validation tool for Mac OS X. This new version supports an exhaustive list of validators: DTD, XML Schema, Relax NG (XML and simplified syntax), and Schematron.
