How to validate a Microformat

Lots of talk about microformats going on. Thats good.

Some folks worrying about the complexity of validating documents that use microformats.

Folks. All you need is some pipeline goodness.

Step 1 - get yourself an XML pipeline execution infrastructure or roll your own. Its not hard.

Step 2 - Create a two stage pipeline for validation. Stage 1 : a transform that turns class attributes into element type names. Stage 2 : a standard element-centric validation using RNC/G, DTD or XSD.
