Short: And microformats use "namespaces" :)

Longer: Microformats call it "Unique Root Class Names". To avoid name  
clashes in software implementing microformats scrapping, they have to  
be sure to scope the right microformat. The switching mechanism  
(namespace) is a root class name which is nesting the other class  
values.[2]
So it is a "namespace", microformats just do not call it a namespace. :)
