Thanks all for your responses.  Very helpful.  Also, I've updated the faq with my take on the usage of the term Microformat...

Regards,
Karsten

--- Both technorati's pingerati and alexa were good sources of data.
Yahoo's search monkey allows you to style search output, but i don't
think the microformatted data is directly exposed.

--- that's a good question! I know there has been some effort to make
microformats lower-case 'm' as well.

You might also consider adding that question to the FAQs page, then we
can all work on an answer together

http://microformats.org/wiki/faq

or possibly start a new page

http://microformats.org/wiki/usage (maybe)?

to help describe how to, or how freely you can, and in what context
the term 'microformat' can be used.
