[uf-discuss] Is there an "Ask Question" or "Request for Referral" style microformat

[Mark Mansour]

It is not really like a FAQ or a poll (limited set of answers), more
like asking an open ended question.

A typical implementation may be a blog - where an entry is made asking
the readers for their opinion and the comments serve as the answers. 
In this way the question and the answers are freeform text (unlike a
poll) and the number of answers is not limited (unlike a FAQ).

I have looked at the list of microformats and I haven't found anything
that quite fits the bill, but that doesn't mean there isn't anything
out there.  Otherwise I'll just do what I think is necessary and if
others like it then it can evolve into a uF...
