The RSS feeds are accessed in the browser through the feed button.
So it makes sense that the microformat data should be accessed through the 
data button.

I do like data, it's concise and is easy to explain.

Q: What kind of data can I get from the data button?
A: Contact details, calender entries, geographic locations, . . .

Q: Does the data button always get the information?
A: No, only when the page author has specially marked out those parts of the 
page.
