I just think it would be good to bring these handy
microformat driven 
functions under a banner that isn't confused by the other
things 
microformats do. The idea of pulling these bits of data out
of a page 
and using them elsewhere is one of many features of
microformats and 
something that people would use every day. A logo that could
sit next to 
the feed icon would be perfect, and a simple name so
everyone 
understands what they are, and can promote them.

I want to be able to sell this to my clients, I want to show
them this 
cool thing supported by the next generation of browsers that
they can 
have in their websites too.
