SubscribeSafari gets a proper Microformats extension
Jon Hicks proposed it over a year ago and I went ahead and wrote it as a bookmarklet. Finally now, the people who created Safari Tidy (for live xhtml validation), have created a fully integrated Safari Microformats plugin.
It's only available for Leopard and I had a little trouble installing, but this was entirely down to the SIMBL install (I had to completely remove the /Library/InputManagers/SIMBL directory before installing SIMBL again - then it worked).
It probably marks the death of my bookmarklet in Safari, but to be fair, the bookmarklet was only ever been an intermediate solution before fully integrated Microformats detection and importing was available. Hopefully Apple will consider integrating this kind of functionality directly, since Firefox 3 and IE8 are hinting towards support.
You should follow me on Twitter here I'll tweet about JavaScript, HTML 5 and other such gems (amongst usual tweet-splurges)

After playing with the plugin a bit more, I've had to uninstall it. This is because it hangs the browser for a significant number of seconds when there's a number of microformats on the page - I've noticed this in particular on larger twitter pages (e.g. http://twitter.com/adactio).
I have contacted the developers and suggested an initial 'hinted' parse only to confirm the existence of microformats, so we'll see what they say.
Superb customer service - that's what I like. Kasper replied back within a few minutes and pointed me to the newest version 0.1.1 and it's quick as a cat again.
It wasn't the parser, it was the photos from twitter.
Installed again and happy bunny
