doing this for internal use, and was only asking this list on the

to get advice and insight from the community on how to design a
Microformat (or if I should avoid that work, Semantic HTML vocabulary) in a way that complies with standards and conventions. Even
if nobody else has ever published anything like this before, I'm still
interested in doing it for the data I'm working with.<br>
