What would *you* propose? Such things evolve faster when people
wordings for consideration by the community. Previous phrasings:

* Schema.org is a joint effort ... to improve the web by creating a
structured data markup schema supported by major search engines.
On-page markup helps search engines understand the information on web
pages and provide richer search results. A shared markup vocabulary
makes easier for webmasters to decide on a markup schema and get the
maximum benefit for their efforts. Search engines want to make it
easier for people to find relevant information on the web. Markup can
also enable new tools and applications that make use of the structure.

* Schema.org is an initiative to "create and support a common set of
schemas for structured data markup on web pages."
