Hi Tantek and Atamido,
I think genealogy is more about relationships (ie marriage, parent
child, etc) than individual biographies. A genealogy microformat, to
my way of thinking, would borrow more from XFN than hCard.
To deal with life dates and other biographical information (like,
gender, nationality, life events, etc) I think it would be more
elegant to have a separate biography format, based on hCard. A
biography format could serve as a building block for geneology,
citation, movie credits, etc.
Just my two cents. Your thoughts?
Tim.

Not that I'm proposing that hCard be used for genealogy, but if a
genealogy format were made it would likely pull all relevant classes
from hCard. In fact, it would probably just be an hCard with a few
missing/additional classes.
Atamido,
Your suggestion is right on. Reframing this question as:
"How do we represent genealogy information as it is published on
the Web?"
is the best way IMHO to proceed with this discussion.
Start with http://microformats.org/wiki/genealogy-examples and
let's go from
there.
Thanks,
Tantek
