Indeed.  Creating a more generalized microformat, that can be specifically 
applied to plants, seems like a pretty good idea.  This would allow for 
easier reuse of the format (in the same way that hCard is getting heavily 
reused).

Of course, all of the examples are specific to plants, so using existing 
work here would result in something heavily plant biased.  And, as Scott 
pointed out, his goals do fit with microformat's principles.

I think the best we could hope for is carefully selecting classes and 
structures for plants, that could most easily be translated to other classes 
of life.
