Well, maybe in the future it won't be a hack. Ars Technica is reporting that both Firefox 3 and Internet Explorer 8 will support microformats:

"It is also widely speculated that IE 8 will include support for microformats, small tags embedded in HTML code that can be interpreted in various ways by software, such as calendar events or contact information. Microformat support is scheduled for
Firefox 3, so IE 8 will have to include them in order to keep up."
