Indeed, it's been tried, but more with idealistic formats that attempt to
capture all information about something, rather than empirically based 80/20
formats that only attempt to capture *most* of the information people are
already publishing.  This really gets at the heart of how microformats are
different from traditional format efforts.

David,

I'm going to be there as are several other microformats folks, especially
for the microformats panel on Tuesday.

Take a look at the page on our wiki for the event:

 http://microformats.org/wiki/events/2006-03-07-etech-microformats

and add yourself to the "Attending" section.

Hope to see you here!

Thanks,

Tantek
