No, my experience was far too painful. I really don't see any value in 
using an IANA registry for this at this point. The Microformats wiki seems 
quite sufficient and orders of magnitude easier to deal with (there's no 
need to wait for someone to approve a tentative registration, for example, 
you can just edit the wiki and be done; updates can be done as needed, 
there's no restriction on who can do it; there's far more focus on real 
world deployment than theoretical spec stability; there's an active 
community updating the registry on their own without needing people to 
submit applications for approval, etc).
