Well, Google recommends microdata before microformats:

It is already clear that Microdata will be well

of microformats is that the draft standards are

Good questions!
I did not even realize that there was a microdata format until I read
your e-mail.
I wonder if you could just change your HTML DTD to an HTML5 and go from there?
In other words, change this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd";>
<html>
... to this:
<!doctype html>
<html>
From what I know, most HTML4 strict elements should work just fine
under HTML5. You don't need to worry about changing all the tags to
<section> or<header> (for example)... You could do that later, but in
the meantime you could start working with the microdata formats on
specific elements.
Anyway, just a thought. :)
Great questions!
Cheers,
M
