Schema.org has its faults, but at least there is now a fairly significant standard for expressing metadata within HTML. As Bing & Google are behind it, there will be adoption. HTML5 has a large number of new attributes that are quite semantically rich. However, tools built for an earlier era don't know about them.

  • Developers would like to know that their content is being expressed well.
  • Data wranglers would like to pull structured data from pages.

To support this, we could build a validation and/or a scraper that knows what to do with this content.
