To be honest, hWidget is actually a bit out of line with the typical  
process we use for developing microformats [http://microformats.org/

There was no documentation of current behavior, nor analysis of  
current schemas (explicit or implicit).

You might want to take a look at http://microformats.org/wiki/process  
for ways to go about this.

Thanks for your interest and welcome to the group.
