its no more hidden to users or tools than the contents of an arbitraryily-nonstandard element attribute that RDFa or eRDF pulled out of its magic hat

i personally recall it being trivial to grab stuff out of comment elements using jQuery/Firebug/Greasemonkey, as an end user. and presumably the author checked that it was GRDDLable before mentioning that in the topic. 

nobody seems to mind that CSS is expressed in its own syntax rather than JSON or XML. same with SPARQL for that matter. why play favorites?

i would agree that its stretching the definition of a 'microformat'
