*Remember* that I concluded the mail by ying-yang. Nothing is all good or all bad.

It's "yin-yang" (no 'g' on 'yin'), and that's not really what it means. Yin-yang is the balance of opposing forces, e.g. human- readability and machine-readability. When these are balanced properly, it's all good. When one has too much influence over the other, e.g. tag soup on the one end, or binary formats on the other, it's all bad. See Wikipedia:

"Yin and yang are equally important, unlike the typical dualism of good and evil."

So yin-yang might actually be a good symbol for microformats, just not in the way suggested above.
