I agree with you: and the information formatted on hAtom should concern the syndication: title, date released, type of content, author. But any extra information that's specific to the format being syndicated (composer, album, drum player) should be formatted into a format-specific for it.
Right.
If we were syndicating places to be read by some kind of google earth plugin for exemple, no one would argue that the best way to do it would use a hGeo inside an hAtom, not to expand the hAtom in order to pass Geographical locations. Therefore if I am building a music-player + feed-reader that relies on hAtom we should use a microformat for music.
I agree, except not everything we do here needs to be a microformat. We can use semantic markup like class="album-title" without (or before) a microformat and it will be equally meaningful. Holding out for a full microformat means, in practice, accomplishing less, because microformats have a necessarily higher barrier to entry than ad-hoc semantic HTML. In general, I think we should encourage ad-hoc semantic HTML, as it gives us useful experience on which to create microformats.
