Heh, don't even get me started on the process :p As for media wiki,
I must simply be missing some key bit of navigation - is there
actually an index to all pages or a site map somewhere that lists
*all* pages? The only way I could find things that weren't directly
linked from some other page I could find was to use the (almost
unbelievable) "Random Page" link?! :)

I've since learnt that the IRC discussions are logged but I've not
yet found a way to search them.
Google seems to work okay for this, e.g.:
http://www.google.com/search?q=site:http://rbach.priv.at/Microformats-
IRC/%20hcard
Again, the process hinders this. One can stare the obvious
convergent solution in the face for a great deal of time, but will
have to wait until real world examples of that solution are
available before they can properly get through the process rather
than just being a side-note lost in time.
This is a common misunderstanding, and I recently added it to the FAQ:
http://microformats.org/wiki/faq#Q._What_if_I_can.27t_find_real-
world_examples_of_a_standard_I.27d_like_to_propose.3F
We need to find real world examples of the *problem*, not necessarily
the solution. If we can't find examples of the problem, that's often
a good indication that it's not a widespread problem, so not a good
candidate for a widespread solution.
