I an not a lawyer, but my understanding is that any public statements  
made by the adminstrators regarding legal matters could be used  
against them in case of legal action.  Given the explicit goal of  
Microformats.org to avoid any sort of formal bureacracy, I suspect  
that there was a collective decision to simply avoid the issue  
altogether.

If you want something more formal, you may want to look at GRDDL. :-)
