[buddypress-dev] Data Portability and Microformats

[Donnie La Curan]

I would leave this out of BuddyPress by default, but someone could make a
plugin for it.

I'd like to see BuddyPress come as is out of the box not requiring other
services to use certain features.  Keep the core features of BuddyPress
within itself and then other developers can come in and make plugins for
whatever outside services they want to use.
