If you attach $-signs to them you'll gain lots more traction. At that level I think semi-professional eBayers and small scale craft manufacturers are the most likely to benefit from a product data microformat - retailers benefit from using them not necessarily from creating them - does that make sense? (i.e. Bookshops and distribiuters benefit from ISBNs but book publishers actually pay to attach them to the books.)
