Because it is not clear that Attention.xml qualifies as a microformat.

For example, are people actually publishing their attention information on
the web?  Not really.

So I think there is still some work to do on Attention.xml just as a format
in general, nevermind a microformat.  It's not even clear that it will ever
be a microformat itself.  It may be sufficient for Attention.xml to simply
make use of microformats as building blocks.

Thanks,

Tantek
