Note also existing established practice:

Ted, you may wish to consider incorporating W3C's markup of RFC 2119 terms
rather a new proposal.

IMHO there is no need for a new microformat for this.  Following W3C's
established practice, and Edward O'Connor's suggestion for the initial
paragraph, appears to be sufficient for all uses cases noted earlier.

I've collected W3C's markup/styling and Ted's suggestions here:

 http://microformats.org/wiki/rfc-2119

Ted, feel free to add your POSH initial paragraph markup suggestion directly
to the wiki.

Thanks,
