Microformats and Web Browsers

Alex Faaborg writes in a recent blog post " Much in the same way that operating systems currently associate particular file types with specific applications, future Web browsers are likely going to associate semantically marked up data you encounter on the Web with specific applications, either on your system or online. This means the contact information you see on a Web site will be associated with your favorite contacts application, events will be associated with your favorite calendar application, locations will be associated with your favorite mapping application, phone numbers will be associated with your favorite VOIP application, etc."

This is a project I would really like to take on in the future. I can see this having huge implications about browsers, and the way we interact on the web.
