I think you're probably right that things are in limbo.  Part of the  
problem might be that the problem statement is kind of vague.  What  
exactly would you like to do with stock symbol data?  Are existing  
microformats (e.g. rel-tag [1]) sufficient for your use cases?  If  
so, we have no problem to solve.  If not, let's identify what we're  
missing.
