Why not just restrict the cursor thing to be activated over the actual

That sounds like a nice idea, but then you're getting into the realms of mystery-meat navigation.

For example... consider an hCard.  It's true that the actual hCard
could span the whole page.  But you could make the cursor thing happen
only when the cursor goes over the text of the name... the logo... and
stuff like that.

(Did I explain that well enough?)

So... you would NOT make the cursor thing happen over the span of the
Microformat.  But you would make it happen over the actual "text",
"image", etc, data of the Microformat.

How about if a microformats icon is activated when such content is available on the page.

When you click on the logo, you get a dialog box containing all of the information, while hovering over the icon makes obvious the locations on the page where the microformat information is.

Even if the information is made visible on the page in some manner, there are issues with long pages that have most of the microformat information off of the visible part of the page.
