How much prior art do we need to prove that there is a problem here? We
already have 68 examples. I'd like to know how much a "whole ton"
amounts to...

If we were to look at the number of examples listed for hResume we would
find a grand total of 7... rel-directory - 4 examples, total. Here's a
table of the current drafts vs. number of examples:

Microformat Draft   Examples
-----------------   --------
rel-directory[1]        4
hResume[2]              7
hReview[3]             19
hCard[4]               30
hSet[5]                68
hAudio[6]              94

So, where's the bar? It seems that people like to change it when the
argument isn't going their way.

You have a good proposal Colin - drop it and move on. I've lost all
interest in trying to solve this problem... if somebody else would like
to pick it up and move it forward, that would be great.
