Why shouldn't he call it a microformat?

Sorry, I may have conflated too many issues. The point I wanted to make (which I communicated poorly) is:

a) If he's committed to marking up *invisible* metadata that is *only* for machine consumption, then [IMHO] that's beyond the scope of what this group was constituted to do.

b) Conversely, if he's unsure whether the metadata *has* to be invisible, then perhaps this is still a worthwhile discussion.

c) Either way, he's welcome to experiment with microformat-derived ideas

d) However, if the end result is *outside* the scope of how we as a community understand microformats, don't expect to get a lot of official support

e) In particular, it would be confusing for him to call his proposal a "microformat" if it did not go through the documented microformat process

http://microformats.org/wiki/process

I apologize if that came across as needlessly confrontational.

Best,
-- Ernie P.
