Ernie, I believe this is essentially what has been proposed for #2, per: <http://microformats.org/discuss/mail/microformats-discuss/2007-August/01057 5.html> " * brief plain-language intro at the top (say for example, something that a non-technical person like a member of the general media/press could read and understand) " same as your b) AFAIK. " * followed by links to more plain-language resources " similar to your c), which I also agree with.
