I think (at least) 3 distinctions need to be made:

- 'vanilla' semantic HTML (using non-presentational html markup 
appropriate to the content it describes)
- HTML-based data formats (actually, this is what I was looking for a 
term for when I suggested 'POSH')
- Microformats (HTML data formats that have gone through the 
Microformats Process - a canon of html data formats )
