[wp-hackers] Any chance of the "Kubrick vs hReview" patch being accepted prior to WP 2.0 release?

Usually the more specific classes (which always have VERY common names) 
have to occur inside a container with a less common name.  In hAtom's 
case, the outer class name is "feed", which is less common.

(It's "hreview" for hReview, "vevent" for hCalendar, etc.)

So a minimal page marked up with hAtom might look like:

<div class="feed">
    <div class="entry" id="id of entry">
    <h3><a href="url of entry" rel="bookmark">title goes here</a></h3>
    <div class="content">entry contents go in here</div>
</div>

And a minimal hReview would be:

<div class="hreview">
    <p class="item fn">Name of thing being reviewed</p>
    <div class="description">Review goes here</div>
</div>

The problems arise when you try to mark up existing HTML with 
microformats, because the microformat authors always choose such generic 
names ("item", "description", "content", "entry", etc)....
