To clarify, microformats specs don't seek to constrain HTML at all.   
They only describe expected behavior among those who have arrived at  
a rough consensus about specific bits of HTML.  But you're free to,  
and furthermore encouraged to, use other bits of HTML as well.  Not  
every bit of useful HTML semantics belongs in a microformat.  Maybe  
this bit does, or maybe it doesn't, but the lack of a microformat  
should never prevent you from making your own HTML markup more  
descriptive.

Peace,
Scott
