Microsummaries make bookmarks exciting again

Microsoformats I’m a Woot addict. Today, their blog had an entry about their support for microsummaries. Basically, it supplies a very small summary for a web page. In Firefox 2.0, this will allow for bookmarks with dynamically updating description text. For Woot, this means a price and description of the product.

What about Safari though? Will Leopard add support? Will it change bookmark labels or take another more exciting approach? And what about the hcal format, which given its iCal basis seems like a natural? I’m hoping the next version of Safari is the microformats version, adding support for a ton of them.
