In principal

although I am unsure of when the proposal adopted the use of
class="price" as It was previously agreed that we use the currency
proposal
http://microformats.org/discuss/mail/microformats-new/2007-June/000563.html

Although I am not sure if the proposal has changed since then

Maybe someone can point out when? 

Thanks
