As asserted by microformats, HTML is the only language of the internet. Why, if data were represented in a format that made any sense, web browsers would become so bloated as to form a singularity, which leads to black holes which leads to the end of the world as we know it. Hence why the "h-card" microformat exists, instead of using the vcard file format that already existed at the time.
As of now, there is at least one file format type which exists in a sensible form rather than being smashed into the HTML/CSS/Javascript stack: raster images. This specification seeks to fix this oversight.
Like the microformat specifications, this specification lives entirely in the class attribute of html elements for simplicity.
A sample h-raster file
This sample file contains only h-raster data, hence the h-raster class being on the document's body element. The document includes one of the shims mentioned in a later resource.
The reference image. The example.html file should look exactly like this one.
A javascript shim that uses canvas to display a "h-raster" value. For browsers that do not yet support h-raster.
A javascript shim that uses table css display values to display a "h-raster" value. For browsers that do not yet support h-raster.
