The Web is by far the most successful medium in history for the open publishing and sharing of content. Focusing efforts to promote and enable open content on the Web first and foremost (rather than say, proprietary data warehouses and corporate databases) thus has the greatest enabling effect for open content in general. Textual content [...]
Creative Commons (CC) pioneered broad awareness of the need and value of open content publishing and sharing.

We take these steps to make the microformats open standards [...]

As reported by Chris Messina, Apple’s dotMac team has added hCard support to their webmail application. Despite recently canceling my dotMac account, I think this is important news because it highlights a use case of microformats which many have not recognized.
