Language and Microformats – The Tower of Babble

There’s an interesting discussion going on right now about Microformats and language.  What it boils down to is, we’re trying to standardize Microformat classes, but how do you do this when half the users don’t speak English?  To them, "vContact" might as well read "::838fjs!!".  Not exactly conducive to using it in casual blog editing.

I think I’m beginning to see the real problem–there’s no good way to create microformatted content.
