Proposal for HTML microformat for marking-up Martian and Lunar co-ordinates

Last September, I wrote:

Hello - my first post to these newsgroups.

You might be interested in my proposals for microformats for
marking-up geographical references, on web pages, to places on Mars
(and, possibly, other planets):

http://microformats.org/wiki/mars

and on the Moon:

http://microformats.org/wiki/moon

based on the existing scheme for terrestrial coordinates:

http://microformats.org/wiki/geo

Microformats are a way of adding additional, simple markup to
human-readable data items on web pages, using common and open HTML
standards, so that the information can be extracted by software and
indexed, searched for, saved, cross-referenced, combined or, in the
case of coordinates, located on maps.

Please feel free to participate - the proposals need both messages of
support (not just "me too"s, but particularly from people who have
websites on which they might use them) and, especially, comments and
constructive criticisms.

You can use the above wiki, or the microformats mailing list:

http://microformats.org/wiki/mailing-lists

and/ or to pass this e-mail to other interested parties.

Thank you.

A "straw man" (a very rough draft proposal) is now available, for your
comments, which will be welcome, he
