No, it's invisible to people, and focusing on data that's *visible* to  
people is a (maybe *the*) distinguishing characteristic of  
microformats.  That's what people in this community mean when we say  
"microformat," so coming here and using that term meaning something  
completely different is like going to China and speaking to everyone  
in English.  There's little to be gained from this, and much to be lost.
