[snip rest of markup]
Haven't you just reinvented RDFa?
Notes:
1. An object's class is intentionally "objet", from "objet d'art" to
avoid collisions with existing use of class="object".
I think that would generate confusion.
2. I'm not 100% sure about the best use of "geo" here. Should it be
used to markup where the object was created (as I have done here);
where the object currently is; or both?
Either, or both, but with an additional class of "made" and/or
"located", or some such; possibly also "found" (imagine a coin made in
Rome, found in York, and on display in London). They and the place names
should be included in hCards.
