The pages on hCard and, especially, hCalendar are harder to read now,
than they were ~5 hours, ago, before the recent reversions.

I don't have such a section, nor do I desire one.

Discussion is not part of a spec.

I'm no longer convinced that there's a Wiki in anything but name.

Tantek is fond of citing the W3C as an organisational model. compare
what one sees at the first (home page) and second  (i.e. a link from the
home page, to, say, "HTML") levels, compared with the second level of
the microformats Wiki (linking to, say hCalendar).

There also seems to be a presumption that "newbies" will initially be
interested in "authoring", that is almost certainly fallacious, and at
best unsupported by evidence.

cgriego's suggestion that "wiki/* (where people are mostly likely to go)
should be the intro page and it should link to wiki/*-spec" is far more
sensible.

What do you mean by a "virtual card sort"?
