Just a quick question. Been browsing the dev site and seen some of the features of 1.3 listed. One of them is support for MicroID. Hence the question. 
What actually is the point of MicroID? I've looked over the docs on their site too, and I honestly can't conceive any actual use for it. Am I just missing the point again?
That only mentions the benefits of hcards, as such. And those I can see a use for if they're ever requested or needed. MicroID, however, seems to be useful but not actually have any use, if that makes sense?
Edit: Or is it of use in the context of verifying that the origin of the other micro-formats are legitimate?
So am I correct in surmising that it's main use, (and apologies if I'm being a bit on the thick side here), is that someone can link to information on another site and have it verified as belonging to them, and if so, it's imported or linked via whatever means the other site or service uses?
Again, my apologies if I'm being a bit dense here.
Sounds right to me
Cheers. 
It's just been one of those rare things where I knew it must have some use, but couldn't quite figure what.
