I didn't mean to imply an answer to the question I asked. It was 
really just a question. The about page [1] says microformats are 
"adapted to current behaviors and usage patterns," are not "defining 
the whole world, or even just boiling the ocean," and "solve a 
specific problem." I think "is this needed?" is a question that 
should be asked of all potential microformats, to keep these 
statements true. If the answer is yes, then great. But it's not 
always yes. Not everything needs a microformat.
Peace,
