To use a cool name for this - do it web 2.0 - we as a relatively small 
group of which I'm relatively new can't decide what people will call 
this and FF3 perhaps shouldn't call it something. Everybody can choose 
their own name and it will - by the power of web 2.0 which microformat 
is very much a part of - become a good word in the end.
Probably none of us here is the right ones to decide something like this...
