To "officially" add it to the knowledge base of microformats, rather 
than just having to having people stumble upon it. This is especially 
valuable for casual users of a microformats (as opposed to us, we who 
are immersed).

The next question may be, why not add all the HTML rel types [1]? My 
answer to this would be "add them as we use them".
