Loqi KartikPrabhu: tantek left you a message 5 hours, 30 minutes ago: pretty sure "Why microformats uses classes" is in the FAQ in some form. I used to speak to that in particular in the early days of microformats (mid 2000s) in nearly every talk. Simple answer: it's where web designers put semantics already, so it builds on existing habits, instead of making people learn new technology, attributes, formats etc. Simpler, more adaptive. Feel free to add to microformats FAQ.
