What would it be interesting to see ... the way the podcast transcript 
is represented in the XML, or the HTML (which is currently *horrible*, 
and going to change soon)? Or both?

Would it be appropriate to add this to 
http://microformats.org/wiki/chat-examples under a tentative "*might be 
relevant to chat*" "podcast transcripts" heading?

I agree entirely. Think it very odd and reckon <cite> and 
<q>/<blockquote> more appropriate. Don't understand the dl suggestion at 
all.

<tangent>Would it be correct to use hCard for the people in a 
transcript, or am I jumping the gun/plain wrong?</tangent>
