I agree with this notion of presenting information correctly to both humans and machines. This is a philosophy that is really very key to the microformats "movement" (for want of a better word). Good, semantic mark-up should *always* be the foundation for any semantic additions, be they microformats or otherwise. >The statement "...<div class="paragraph"> does not equal <p>..." still >stands! Absolutely! But microformats would never propose to try and take the place of already existing, correct, mark-up. It's all about the extras.
