Thus, I'm not sure there'd be an extremely tight bond between microformats and Ajax You could jiggle those around a lot -- wrapping action in meta-data, which is then data: microformat! -- but I'd at first try to stick to that separation. Personally, I'm a little leery of "declarative programming" after the XML-gorging of last 5 years. That said, maybe there's something super-cool I'm totally missing about a stronger connection between representing Ajax components as microformats. Is there?

Is there?
