I'd actually advise against trying to push this to the Microformats group. They're about marking up visible data in such a way that a machine can parse it. This discussion so far seems to be about taking a visible date (or date range, possibly fuzzy) in an arbitrary calendar, and marking it up with an invisible date in the proleptic gregorian calendar, with support for ranges and fuzziness. ~TJ
