Like I said: things like protocols and data formats. Version and

standards organization references. Arbitrary names of

could fit into hCard but other parts would be an awkward fit at best.
This would be in the context of service discovery: for some resource,
or for some organizational context, show me a directory of available
or relevant services. If you're familiar with OpenURL resolvers, I'm
thinking of something like their result screens, but bigger, and with
a usable design and the option to machine-parse reliably. Which is to
say, not really like current OpenURL resolver result screens.
Do you mean services and protocols in the computing sense?
If so you should look into the DNS-SD specification for service
discovery, as this is a deployed and working one that builds on DNS.
Not really connected with microformats though.

Rendezvous and Bonjour)
