By counting instances of the templates emitting microformats. For example, on en.WP, {{Coord}} alone emits 757,299 'geo' (coordinates) microformats [1]; {{Infobox settlement}} emits 273,300 hCard (place) microformats [2] - that's over a million, alone. {{Infobox person}} emits 105,623 hCard (biography) microformats [3]; {{Taxobox}} emits 197,363 species microformats [4], and there are hundreds more templates emitting smaller, but not inconsequential, numbers of microformats of the above and other types [5].
A further, vast, number of hCalendar (event) microformats are emitted, but without the required date metadata, because a long-requested bot task\ [6] remains unfulfilled. For example, {{Infobox album}} emits 110,712 hCalendar microformats - as well as another 110,712 complete hAudio microformats [7].

Andy,
chiming in late in this thread, can you give me some pointers on how you estimate this figure?
Thanks Dario

Yes (I was on my mobile so couldn't conveniently post a link, when I sent my last email; apologies.
en-WP already emits over a million microformats.

I'm the (for want of a better word) project lead for Microformats on en-Wikipedia.
How can I help?
Hi Andy,
Is it this project: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Microformats ?
Cheers Lydia
