I'm not sure how much of this kind of data might be published. I'm doing
this for internal use, and was only asking this list on the chance that
somebody else might have encountered it, and barring that, to get advice and
insight from the community on how to design a Microformat (or if I should
avoid that work, Semantic HTML vocabulary) in a way that complies with
standards and conventions. Even if nobody else has ever published anything
like this before, I'm still interested in doing it for the data I'm working
with.
