You can make the search results include only pages with particular
microformats on them using some of the searchmonkey backend, eg.

http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=searchmonkeyid%3Acom.yahoo.uf.hcard%20rob%20crowther

So your second example would be:

http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=searchmonkeyid%3Acom.yahoo.uf.hcalendar%20London

Though you're correct that there isn't a way to reason with the data
in the query ('events in London in October 2008').  I get the
following:

1 - 10 of 1,310,000,000 for searchmonkeyid:com.yahoo.uf.hcard
1 - 10 of 46,500,000 for searchmonkeyid:com.yahoo.uf.hcalendar
1 - 10 of 330,000,000 for searchmonkeyid:com.yahoo.uf.hatom

Of course, this could include duplicates and have other issues which
make it less than completely accurate, but I guess that's par for the
course?
