The current draft of hListing is dated 2006, but the core schema has  
been implemented successfully on multiple occasions (Kelkoo recently  
published 26.5 million product listings with hListing mark-up at the  
core).

Having spent the time working with the schema, I'm intending to take  
over as editor of the hlisting spec shortly, and hopefully help  
structure the work again.

In the meantime, please please please start adding any known issues  
to http://microformats.org/wiki/hlisting-issues and if you have new  
examples of listings, add them to the examples section of the  
hlisting proposal page (that will get restructured properly in the  
new few weeks.)
