we should honor that and not transform it... HTML comments are hidden
and ignored... so maybe other hidden content should be as well?
Just food for thought.

UGH!
Leave styles (and other visual presentation issues) out of the
microformat parsing side of the game please
How would a microformat parser know what presentation to follow?
Take the case of alternate stylesheets... where one "view" offered a
brief summary view (complete with many attributes given display:none)
and an alternate sheet with an expanded view.
Or the case of some unobtrusive DOM scripting goodness that
manipulates the view into some type of collapsed / expanded state or
totally rewires the display of the location information?
Or any other number of reasons why someone would want to publish some
data but format a particular view of that data for the screen (or
screen reader, or presentation, or mobile device)
I know a few on this list deplore display:none on relevant "data",
but in some cases its useful -- but only as a presentation mechanism
and it should stay independent of the data that has been codified via
markup.
