I thought that's what I was doing.  Rather than proposing a new format 
straight away, I presented a use case with some example data and was 
trying to look at what can and can't be done with existing formats, and 
the limitations with them.

Exactly!  Hence, the discussion is involving hCard, hResume, rel-tag, etc.

Yes, that's what I was trying to do.  By looking at what can be done 
already that fits the use case, we can see what's missing and fill in 
the gaps, which will hopefully be quite small.
