But is it actually being published widely enough to be considered an 
established standard we can model? We can't determine that from one 
or two examples. Per the process, please document a wide variety of 
such examples in the wiki, so we can keep everyone on the same page 
and avoid wasting our time with speculation about what might be 
standard publishing behavior. Even if you've personally seen all of 
these examples, no one else has, and microformats require community 
consensus.
