Dan,
I added CSS support as a consideration when choosing a HTML data syntax at [1]. The text reads:
Because microformats generally use classes to mark up data within an
HTML page, it is easy to use CSS to style those elements based on their
type. For example .hcard .n { font-weight: bold; } will enbolden any
person's name. This is a little harder with microdata (where the selector
might be something like [itemtype~="http://microformats.org/profile/hcard"]
[itemprop~="n"]) or RDFa (where it might be [typeof~="foaf:Person"]
[property~="foaf:name"]). If you are planning to style your page based on
the data embedded within it, you may find it easier to use microformats
than either microdata or RDFa.
Does that sound reasonable?
