Book microformat examples - published books or "web-first" books?

I added two examples to the book-examples page[1], then I
wondered:  
Is the books microformat focused mainly on books that have
been  
published in print first, then published on the web? Or is
the books  
microformat open to including books published on the web
first, then  
published in print?

My first example is a web version of the _Iraq Study Group
Report_,  
which was originally published in print, then put on the web
by the  
Institute for the Future of the Book. The second example is
McKenzie  
Wark's _GAM3R 7H30RY_, which was published first as a draft
on the  
web before going to print.

I should note that the Institute for the Future of the Book
has a  
small number of other projects involving books published on
the web.[2]

Best,
Jeremy

It ought to be either.  Since you're in the stage of the
process
specifically dealing with collecting examples, you should
be
collecting both kinds that ultimately end up being published
and
consumed on the web.  I don't think the original source of
the book
matters as long as it ultimately has been published,
digitally and in
full, on the web.

So, I see no problems... unless I'm missing a trick.

Also - can we move this discussion over to the -new mailing
list
[1][2] (rending this thread on -discuss closed).  I've
already
included this reply onto it.  Thanks!
