Thanks for all your comments. I have fixed the Author issue, it now
concatenates them with " and ". I have also changed the "" to {} so
now i don't have escape quotes. It is all uploaded so you can keep
testing. (i still need to escape non-ascii characters, but that is not
really an issue with the microformat)
i'm not sure if we should move technical issues to the dev list and/or
we should keep the debate about KEYs and other Citation issues on the
discuss list?

Here I forgot to mention what the reasonable defaults for BibTeX should be.
In case of a missing type, 'misc' is appropriate. Any contiguous
sequence of letters is fine syntatically for a bibtex type, but spaces
are bad, for example "@Journal Article{foo, ...}" is invalid.
In case of a missing key/uid - using something unique to the page is fine.
Doing something unique and meaningful is better, like Author1YearTitle
(e.g. "Suda06Microformats"), like this:
@misc{suda06Microformats, author = {Suda, Brian}, Title ="Microformats"}
