At the end of the meeting I agreed to make a new wiki page that
summarised the previous discussion and had some examples that could
be a basis for further progress. Here's the page - feel free to
edit,
particular with extending the examples to cover other reference
types:

Alf, thanks very much for writing this up.
As these are notes from a discussion, and I'd like to avoid the
confusion
with some of the connotations of "recommendation" (i.e. in the W3C
sense),
I've moved that page here:
http://microformats.org/wiki/citation-irc-notes-2006-04-09
Actually the intention was that it be a recommendation (but it
doesn't have to use that word, obviously), as a step between the
brainstorming and an actual specification (to tidy everything
together). Brian was planning on doing IRC notes separately.
Alf, it is premature to be making "recommendations" when the
necessary steps
in the process have not yet been completed. More on the wiki page
itself.
With a citation microformat in particular (given the history of so
many
different citation format efforts), we must take particular care to
follow
the process closely with respect to proper research and
documentation so
that a citation microformat doesn't just become another either
rarely used
or niche-specific citation format.
I think draft is actually the word I was looking for. I think most
people agreed that the background research and documentation had
covered everything and had become sprawling enough that it was time
to condense it into something implementable.
alf.
