You just  gave the answers where some metadata should stay hidden.
I thought microformats effort was about to make
	*current authoring* practices
more regular, more normalized. It is not necessary to show all  
metadata on a Web page, specifically when they are more useful ways  
of doing it. Infobesity is not good for the Web end-user (who is a  
reader AND an author).

Projects of checking reliability of software downloading is a very  
good idea, but IMHO out of scope of microformats effort. And this  
just reading what I see lately like an  explosion of targets in  
microformats community, which might hurt this same community later on.
