The key is support. How widely is this microformat supported? I don't have a definitive answer, but would expect it to be supported sparingly, if at all. You should also consider what content will be useful for web browsers to extract. For example, there is no point using hCard to make a mailing address machine readable when the address is out of date and no longer works. You can reduce the effort required by being selective. Also, Measure is a draft standard, As there is no process to ratify draft microformats, this status isn't going to change. It is possible, therefore, for the draft to change under your feet. Finally, having said that, this particular draft was last modified in 2008, so it is moribund and change is unlikely.
