I think the original question is a good one, and one that maybe is 
lacking in examples on the wiki: Are there "successful" examples of 
machines parsing, and getting something meaningful, out of the existing 
microformats?

I know that rubhub has parsed XFN, but it's the simplest of the 
microformats, and probably won't convince a whole lot of people that 
it's sustainable or performant.  Are there others that we can point to 
as success stories?

In a quick search around the wiki, I found something about parsing 
hCard, but no code examples or links to sites doing it 
(http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard-parsing).
