 * Now that schema.org has released this multi-search-engine markup to help SEO,
   is WP going to attempt to accomodate this new markup schema in posts and pages
   for users who don’t know html? Or will this type of thing be handled by a plugin?
   Or not at all?

 * Don’t know if this is useful but my WP blog is marked up for schema.org – [Propeties For Sale In France](http://www.frenchpropertyclassifieds.co.uk/)–
   you can see this if you use the rich snippets tool from google on the link. Its
   pretty well covered even down to significant links being defined.
 * Two points of note: the site is very specific in its purpose (offsite landing
   pages for my property portal – [_link moderated_] Houses For Sale In France) 
   but the same markup would apply to a general blogging site that most people have.
   Almost no differences. I modified only two core WP files which were link-template.
   php and category-template.php to really do some fine tuning on tags becoming 
   significant links, older and more recent links too. The rest was undertaken in
   the theme itself which is one of my own quick creations (modified files are: 
   archive.php, single.php, sidebar.php, footer.php, header.php and finally index.
   php). It takes about 40 minutes to do it once you have spent the 5 hours thinking
   about it – LOL. The last of the above mentioned files index.php was a little 
   tricky as it has static content on it with the 3 latest blog postings embedded
   in the middle of the content.
 * Anyone wanting to know more can look me up on google+ which is given in the footer
   of the aforementioned site. Giving a google+1 to it and its sister site which
   also fully marked up is always appreciated.

 * One more thing. Schema.org is a done deal in my opinion. The two driving forces
   are to improve the semantic element of search which promises much better results
   and to work against the spammers of this world. In the second case they will 
   need to start connecting their sites to Google accounts which will need to be
   verified (authors and publishers). Without verification a site may tend to fair
   less well. What I can say is, for me at least Schema.org has appeared to be the
   tipping point putting my main portal on page 1 for its main keywords. It jumped
   quickly and decisively in the search results.

 * [WordLift](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordlift/) also adds **schema.
   org support on WordPress** by marking people and places (events and video will
   follow); version 2.0 will bring complete new navigation patterns based on the
   entity recognition (hava look at the[WordLift 2.0 slides](http://www.slideshare.net/cyberandy/wordlift-20-pitch-at-jboye11-in-aarhus)
   or the [project’s website](http://wordlift.insideout.io) if you are interested
   in getting deeper)
