Microformats opening blurb...

I think Joe raised many good points, but I didn't see a
place to
discuss that on that wiki page.  There are good points in
many of the
blurbs submitted, but where to discuss them?

I have also wondered about the points Joe raised as well  as
who may
be reading the site. Are microformats something for web
professionals,
or are they something to be incorporated by sites at any
size or
level?

I think this target audience affects the opening blurb
considerably.

There doesn't seem to be much of a place on the wiki to
discuss changing the
main blurb. It is more of a place to present various ways to
talk about
microformats. All of which are good, but which leaves the
question about how
we, as a community, evolve the primary communications
vehicles.  

My thinking parallels yours, dg.  Humans first means authors
first, and in
particular the non-developer mainstream folks for whom
XML/XSLT options are
just too complicated, e.g., the canonical soccer mom with
this year's
schedule of practices and games.

And the "main" blurb that propagated to the
hResume+WordPress announcement
is exceedingly abstract, IMO.
