When most people use technology, it's all just magic words: TCP/IP, HTTP, HTML, e-mail, hook up the cable modem, push the brake peddle: simple invocations that refer to using technology that underneath _they really have no idea how it operates_. Our job as technologists is to make using microformats as magical as that. As to nomenclature, Microformats is as good a magic word as any other proposal I've heard, and probably better than most.

RE: [uf-discuss] iPhone Developer Meeting in Berkeley w/ focus onMicroformats
Being in the UK, it is hard to get excited or quite understand everything iPhone - I'm not an iPhone basher trawling, merely sitting on the fence. A few questions banding about my head over this: In essence, are you saying lets produce a microformat that describes webpages written for Safari (iPhone version)? By extrapolation, is it therefore acceptable to discuss a microformat that describes webpages written for IE5.5? microformat principles: * solve a specific problem - What's the problem here? * design for humans first, machines second - This to mean seems all about the machine? Would this be the first microformat that is specifically written for a specific browser, operating system and piece of hardware?
