I think the only way it can be addressed is with some effort to
harmonize microformats and RDFa, which is not going to happen for what
seem to me largely political reasons.

The fact that we can't have a title property in hCite is already
evidence of the practical problems that will result without such an
effort.

FWIW. Elias is an engineer (who writes code; "rep" sounds to me more
marketing, but maybe tha's just me).
