In the case of microformats, I'd prefer to see a registry offering efficient, machine readable output. Perhaps a REST API to a database of types. The markup of Wiki pages is not only inefficient for machine extraction but tends to become more unsemantic with time. (Just look at the markup horrors in Wikipedia and Wiktionary.) I'd personally be happier, in this case, with a submission mechanism acting as a intermediate layer between submitters and the official list of types. -- Benjamin Hawkes-Lewis
