[uf-new] hProduct: Shipping

[Myers, Jay]

This is the way I have been marking up currency in shipping blocks in
some recent hProduct demo work:

<p class="shipping">Usually leaves our warehouse in 1 business day.
<span class="money">Estimated shipping cost: <abbr lang="en" title="USD"
class="currency">$</abbr><span class="amount">19.99</span>.</span> 
</p>

There definitely are other shipping components that could be used here.
My thought is that we might be over-complicating things by trying to
include all of them in an hProduct spec. Additionally, on a majority of
e-commerce/ manufacturer sites these components show up further down the
chain (i.e., when you end up in cart/checkout pages), and aren't
necessarily product-specific -- a fixed carrier/service/type/ typically
applies to most products, per the fulfillment model of the business.

Just looked at the currency wiki pages but didn't see the analogue -
can you send a link? Otherwise, conceptually, i think this makes
sense.  Question, though: There are some other shipping components
that might be useful, e.g., carrier (if applicable), service (if
applicable), type (if not carrier/service, e.g., Ground).
