Sure, but we're not just modeling for the sake of modeling here. If we don't have some specific problem that needs better data modeling, it's not worth the additional complication for authors. RDF can represent everything. Microformats are intentionally more limited in scope to very practical needs of authors.

Come to think of it, tnough, if I decide to post a CV online that
includes among other things (includng publications) conference
presentations, then if I can consistantly model those relations
(article partOf journal, paper prsentation partOf conference), I could
imagine interesting mashups and such, like maybe grabbing all the CV
data for a group or department and processing it; members X, Y, Z
presented at ABC Conference, etc.

Does that require anything more than vevent within hresume? Until we've explored the limits of existing relevant microformats, I think it's premature to discuss making changes to them. But if we can identify something specific that's missing and needed in real-world examples, that's where we should focus.

Peace,
Scott
