Yahoo allows microformats to hint discussion

Very interesting. Yahoo allows to add
a microsofmat or RDF to indicate that a blog with comments or a forum discussion takes place.
Yahoo will then include this data in the enhanced search results page.

in reference to:

"Description Display blog or forum information directly in Yahoo! Search. Add code to indicate to Yahoo! that a discussion exists on your page, and when we next crawl your site, we'll take care of the rest. From your markup, we’ll be able to extract structured data from your site and render it automatically in an enhanced result in search results."
