Sorry Ben! it was you. And you're right, the examples in the docs are a bit misleading.

Brian Suda made a point at barcamp about the documentation using only divs and spans, so people don't get confused and think that the element types matter. Obviously people should use the most suitable elements in the context they're using them. But I think this should be made much clearer in the wiki.

Actually it was me who made that point, unless Brian did as well, separately from the panel. Anyway…

Some time ago I suggested we put a disclaimer at the top of each spec making it clear that SPAN/DIV are used for example purposes and then have a new set of ‘rich examples’, complementing the existing ones, showing more diverse mark-up in use with microformats.

Unfortunately I suck and haven't had the organisation to do anything with it, Though it remains on my to-do list.
