I think that it goes against the core philosophy of microformats.org --
that semantic information should also be human-readable. It's not an
idea I share, but it's something they hold onto pretty tenaciously.

Frankly, I don't think that microformats.org has much to offer MicroID.
At the end of the day, after whatever hoops uF's makes you jump through,
you've got exactly 0 more microids published in the world. Any energy
that went into getting it adopted by microformats.org would be far
better spent getting it adopted by Myspace, Friendster, Wikipedia,
Yahoo, dot dot dot.
