I'm not convinced that a formalized Dublin Core microformat class set is necessary for a good citation microformat, and I do think it'd be a distraction to getting the main goal completed.
A reasonable argument; I have no problem with that.
As for using hCalendar, I think that would be great to mark up conferences, meetings, etc, in citations, but I don't think a citation microformat should *require* it. According to the hcard-authoring wiki page, a minimal hCalendar requires a summary, start date and end date or duration. I almost never see end dates or durations being published for citations in current practice, and I think requiring a valid hCalendar would make it harder for publishers to adopt the citation microformat.
Maybe the duration requirement can be dropped? In any case, conferences and hearings and such have titles, dates (usually contiguous start/end but soemtimes not), and usually sponsors.
