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.

You're probably right.

But would it help to write up a slightly more formal spec so that
developers can grok the concept?

I agree as well. I think the first step is to get a clearly documented spec that we agree on - if MF community wants to accept that's fine, but it is certainly no dealbreaker if they don't.

In talks to Yahoo, they wanted a spec. They didn't ask for the MF community's recognizance. Maybe it is time to start documenting the spec? This has been on my todo list for way too long.
