[uf-discuss] Formatting of Movie Credits information

[Chris Messina]

Most of this should be handled with the hCard and hCal MF "building
blocks". In addition, true microformats need to go through a thorough
lifecycle and investigation before being "microformats".

A collection of seemingly semantic classes does not a microformat make.

;)

Not sure if you've taken a look, but give a good read to this page:

http://microformats.org/wiki/process

It'll help get you started with how you might go about rephrasing your
question -- and apologies if this sounds abrupt or presumptive, but we
all go through the same initiation!
