very cool and neat!

it might not be a microformat
it's not really XSLT
but it is GRDDL
and it is Turtle

On the "it is GRDDL" - as I understand Sean has:
- written a transform in an arbitrary language
- then used a trick to present the output of the transform within an 
XSLT doc
- and hooked GRDDL up so that from the GRDDL agents point of view it 
appears that an XSLT transform is doing the work

It was certainly an (unrealized) hope of the GRDDL WG that non-XSLT 
transforms should be possible - and this illustrates how in a way that 
hadn't been planned.

While the name "Tµrtle" is brilliant, it might cause problems if 
included in IRIs where, for security reasons, there is a dislike of 
mixing characters from different scripts.
