[uf-new] Microformat for Datasets

[Sarven Capadisli]

I've mentioned VoID and DCAT only to draw your attention to what's out 
there from the RDF world for some ideas. See also Sitemaps which I think 
partially covers what you want to achieve.

But in end that doesn't matter. You have to stick to the microformats 
process [1], if you want the vocab to see the light of day. So, buckle 
up :)
