2. Keep both copies of the data at least somewhat visible to humans so that at least *some* human eyes/ears can easily inspect both copies and ensure that they have not diverged.
For the sake of argument, though: assuming that those human eyes/ears use a microformat-consuming tool/extension/etc, this can still happen. If I have a page with, say, contact details marked as a hcard, and human users export it to Outlook, they'll be able to see (and ensure) whether or not the generated vcard details in the "add to address book" dialog match the page's visible details or not.
After all, isn't that what microformats are there for? Being consumed by "machines" that can make something useful with them?
