We lose semantic accuracy if we go the hProduct/hListing route... plus
there is no need to bloat those proposals with hAudio cruft that is
clearly not needed for most of the hProduct/hListing entries.

hAudio would fit nicely in the 'description' element of hProduct.

hAudio would also fit nicely in the 'summary' or 'description' element
in hListing.

We shouldn't shoe-horn haudio into other Microformats that have nothing
to do with audio recording markup.

haudio is modeled after ID3, Ogg, MusicBrainz XML, XSPF, and M3U among
others:
