I totally agree, Scott.

>From what Sean is describing, if people wanted to display the
information in the turtle/rdf format to normal users, they would have
to write it twice in different languages. POSH and then hTurtle. See?
Just there, I wasn't able to put hturtle and POSH in the same sack...

Now, I don't mean to say there's no point in hTurtle. There is, I'm
just not sure it fits in the microformats group. Can't we have
something in between ufs and pure rdf?
