I did look deeper. I read most of all the specifications and several papers
on their adoption. My personal conclusion was that not only does
Microformats appear to be used less widely than other competing formats,
but that from a technical point of view just adding "h-" prefixes to class
names seems like a massive hack.

Many of the arguments I've heard in favour of Microformats are that it's
the "grassroots" or "non-evil" solution.

It's equally true that not being a W3C recommendation doesn't automatically
make something better either.

But I'm not the person that will have to implement this, and the people who
are think we should use Microformats.
