Hard to say. It’s so new, I know it won’t make it into 3.2 š something to consider for 3.3 but this may fall into the world of themes and plugins for a while.
I hope wp will implement it sooner than later
It’s a theme-related feature request, not just WordPress.
How would you implement this in a theme?
I tried using some of the mark-up and it was deleted by the internal filters so something more than themes or plug-ins will require change.
wp_list_comments outputs Microformat markup. This is problematic, because it is advised not to mix Microdata and Microformats in the same page.
A wide solution is needed (i.e. a global setting, and tags for themes and plugins). Otherwise, with plugins, themes and core functions each making a different choice we’ll always end with an unacceptable mix.
So we can’t even hand-code the new schema markup? We would have to rewrite the internal filters until WP incorporates this all?
I’m going to stand by my ‘Too soon to predict’ statement š
Seriously. It’s been 11 days. Most of the theme devs I know have said “I’ll need to read more into it.” but all agree it looks pretty cool.
If I was going to be an early adopter I’d go with filters or shortcodes for now.
The questions no one knows the answer to yet:
Should this be incorporated in your post content (i.e. the stuff you write)?
Should this be done via custom fields?
How could it best be automated?
Can a theme just pick up author info etc and automate the simple/standard stuff?
Can someone provide some code snippets as examples for how you might get author tags and some of the more standard tags implemented via your theme?
I believe this plugin would allow you to add the schema/microformat tags and not have them stripped out http://ww.wp.xz.cn/extend/plugins/tinymce-valid-elements/
It will probably also work if you turn off the “visual editor” in user settings.

Looks like a good start, too, Ian! Thanks š
Include this one in the bag! http://ww.wp.xz.cn/extend/plugins/schemafeed/
Adoption is the problem, adding schema.org properties is just tedious, it’ll be good when Google starts showing more filtering links in results.
That tedious nature of adding in properties is, in part, why adoption has been so slow, I’d wager.
