TC:
> Sort of.  There is actually a very key distinction here in the microformats
> approach that sets a different approach.

> Microformats are much more about:

>  Making the data that people *are already publishing* on the *web* more
> useful.

> That's a fine distinction, but a very important one that focuses our
