Ivan, I agree with you, it's important to point out the strength of RDF, multiple vocabularies, etc... If FOAF is insufficient, add a few terms! But don't reinvent the whole vocab if FOAF can do 80%. That said, there is one particularly interesting aspect to Manu's proposed work: mapping microformats to *RDFa* allows an entire RDFa-based pipeline for handling all sorts of client-side data. This can include eRDF, microformats, and the Dublin Core notation. If you transform to RDFa, you keep the HTML-DOM context of the data, which is quite important. (this is the hGRDDL idea made practical, of course :) -Ben
