I thought that's what I was doing. Rather than proposing a new format straight away, I presented a use case with some example data and was trying to look at what can and can't be done with existing formats, and the limitations with them.

I think that there's certainly a case for an hProfile microformat (I think I probably suggested it at some point... heh) but
there is a lot that can be covered with existing formats

Exactly!  Hence, the discussion is involving hCard, hResume, rel-tag, etc.

Perhaps there is a very *specific* part of the profile (or many parts)
that can be extracted and codified into a micropattern?

Yes, that's what I was trying to do. By looking at what can be done already that fits the use case, we can see what's missing and fill in the gaps, which will hopefully be quite small.
