But Microformats had no choice, since their aim was to use only what was in XHTML already. This is why they use class, and why they misuse @title where we use @content. Just because Microformats does it is not a reason in itself to copy it. And furthermore, if we use something else there is more chance that RDFa and microformats can coexist in a single document.
