So, my vanity Google Alert turned up this doozie yesterday:

Per the post, "Wikipedia has just announced that are also looking at how they can use Microformats on Wikipedia (and, more generally, in WikiMedia)?"
As a side note, Wikipedia user Omegatron added support for COinS tags to the template cite book:

I'm not sure if this qualifies as a microformat. Firefox plugin zotero can pick-up book data thanks to this.
Moving support for something like cite book into MediaWiki might be interesting, as the current template using parser functions is seen as a hack by some wikipedians ("ridiculously complex", etc) and impossible to understand by the so called "average" wikipedian.
