Suppose the HR industry were to organize a movement to get all companies to post their jobs in a standardized format using HRXML on their own .jobs domain. This way the engines could trust the results were coming from real companies and even the most basic engines could pick up the results. Job searchers could be redirected to the front of the "search jobs" in the company’s career section (not that anyone uses the .jobs domain for searching anyway) Why wouldn’t this work? Cheesy - why don’t you drive this? Is it just me or am I missing something?

Is this a debate that will fizzle out like the .biz adveture?
