I'd second that.
Even if users are just plopping blobs of data that is recognizable to
humans when presented in a blog, but unstructured, we can still make
sense
of those blobs and structure them.
Seeing what people want to do makes more sense that imposing from on
high. That is typical of standard's bodies and in practice not often
followed.
For an example of this, where some standards from on high, are
compared to some standards that emerged, in video metadata, see this:

I don't believe looking at current publishing practices is a waste
of time at all. Much the opposite, I think it's the most important
part of the process. Domain models that don't account for what is
published on the real web tend to be less useful on the real web.
