hGrant microformat proposal

Parsing Multiple Pages

Many sites have their grants listed on paginated pages. How is a robot supposed to be smart enough to follow each of these pages?

There are two possible solutions. One is for the foundation to register all of the URLs that contain hGrant. That doesn't seem feasible.

Two is to create a microformat indicating "Next Page," something like:

 <a rel="next" href="url"> ... </a>

Robots could then parse a page for hGrant, and if it found a link with this format, it would follow the new URL and keep parsing.
