Maybe. And, yes, probably. Alas, the plugins I've written for MW are 
just simple parsing extensions, more complex stuff I've no idea about 
the capabilities.
I've created a new issue under wiki-2-issues (http://microformats.org/wiki/wiki-2-issues#Spam 
) for this one.
If we could try to collect notes of things we think should be enhanced 
with MW extensions over the next week (on wiki-2-issues), then we'll 
push the most urgent onto the microformats blog and around our various 
networks and see if someone more experienced with MW can help us out. 
Of course, if that person is already on µf-discuss, help us Obi-Wan 
Kenobi, you're our only hope!
