GRDDL represents a way to specify an arbitrary transformation for an
xhtml page, my proposal is the description of a simple generic way to
embed arbitrary data inside an xhtml (like other microformats hCard,
hCalendar, etc.)

microformats are definitely orthogonal to grddl (and might also live
together happily)

They already do. Please read the archives and wiki.

As you can see in the example the format in my proposal is very similar
to hCalendar while allowing arbitrary representation.

I'm missing something?

I think you're missing the part where many of us believe that "arbitrary representation" is desirable. You've recreated the Tower of Babel problem in xhtml [http://tantek.com/log/ 2005/07.html#towerofbabelproblem].
