To an extent, although some is unstructured, and there are tensions
between adding granularity and facilitating ease of editing for novices.

There are also some aspects of MediaWiki (such as the inability to add
CLASSes or RELs to links) which make adding microformats difficult, as
we've found ion the microformats wiki itself.

There's more about this at:

        <http://microformats.org/wiki/mediawiki-mark-up-issues>

along with some patches to fix them (not yet, so far as I know,
implemented on the microformats wiki).
