Hi Dave The hrecipe microformat took a long time to develop and the implementation owes a lot to Thomas Loertsch (http://www.essen-und-trinken.de/) and the engineers at the Food Network http://foodnetwork.com (Jay Hung and Mark Wunsch). I'd suggest contacting them with your ideas. They may have gone through some of your concepts and can explain why they did or did not go in that direction.

Our research has led us to hRecipe and found it to be great, however we have need for a number of additional properties (which may -- or may not -- have broader applicability). One option we have is simply to publish (for our web customers) our recommendation for semantic HTML markup, but we would also like to promote an interoperability with hRecipe. While we are happy to bring our voice to the hRecipe microformat process, we do not want to do anything harmful by improperly extending hRecipe and thought to ask this community for advice on how to proceed. Some options we have considered: - Create a POSH format completely distinct from hRecipe (this would not be compatible with hRecipe) - Add our own extensions to hRecipe (this would not respect the formal methodology of microformats) - Augment hRecipe with our POSH format property extensions and recommend <div class="hrecipe zl-recipe-x"> ... </div> I am hoping that an approach similar to the latter is appropriate. I apologize for my inexperience in working with the microformat community and thank you all in advance for your feedback.
