Why do these discussions have to be so circular?!?  

Okay, fine, I'll agree with your clarification because your point is really
irrelevent to my concern.  But I'll this time use your clarification to
point out yet again that without a disambiguation process we'll have
Balkanization of these "techniques."

I don't care what we call them: "techniques" or "Microformats" or anything
else for that matter.  All I care is that we get a simple disambiguation
strategy included in the recommendation.
