Reply to Curtis McHale and David Wolfpaw on rel-alternate
DΛVID V3.0.6 (Twitter)Have you followed some of the recent discussion around rel="alternate" to get around the issue of proper use of microformats in WordPress core and/or themes? This could really accelerate the uptake for a great many.
— Chris Aldrich (@ChrisAldrich) August 11, 2018I haven’t, got a link?
— curtismchale (@curtismchale) August 11, 2018Seconded. Working on theming this weekend.

The conversation started in the IndieWeb Chat last week with:
15:27 aaronpk: “my post permalinks now have a rel=alternate link to an mf2 and jf2 JSON version of the post”
15:27 aaronpk: “my post permalinks now have a rel=alternate link to an mf2 and jf2 JSON version of the post”
And continued over the next several hours and days primarily with participation of aaronpk, GWG, and pfefferle among a few others.
David Shanske (GWG) and I discussed an overview of it in the most recent episode of An IndieWeb Podcast. The conversation about rel=”alternate” begins at the 11:00 minute mark.
Somewhere there’s a note that GWG has already built a big chunk of code into the Webmention/Semantic Linkbacks plugin that implements a large chunk of the work already. There’s also some work done in https://github.com/indieweb/wordpress-mf2-feed as well.
