If you look at any other "distributed" web services, for instance SOAP, it has WSDL for description and UDDI (and other competing services) for discovery.
This is a bit different, because a SOAP document will never be discovered through standard link crawling, but a microformatted document will. I'm not clear on what the use case is for microformat discovery. As long as there's a link to an HTML document, wouldn't any crawler want to follow the link and check for microformatted content regardless of whether or not the link has class="contains- hreview" or whatever? If microformat search engine A follows all links, and microformat search engine B only follows links marked with some microformat discovery semantics, A will have more content as long as there is a single link that's not marked. So where is the advantage in this?
