Andy et. Al.
I have, not for the first time, been told by an "advocacy"
correspondent
that they have read pages on the wiki, such as
http://microformats.org/wiki/hCard and
http://microformats.org/wiki/hCalendar, and are none-the-wiser as
to what
microformats in general, and the specific microformats concerned, are.
I think it's time we moved the specs to *-spec or *-specification, and
used the "root" page for each microformat, such as the above, for a
plain-language introduction, taking care to avoid jargon as much as
possible.
Should people think that is appropriate (and indeed, I think it is
certainly a suggestion well worth considering) I'd be more than happy
to have the content of "know your microformats" be used for, form the
basis of or otherwise be incorporated into such introductory style
pages.

In fact, that was the motivation for their development (they
constitute an appendix to my microformats book)
