@Mike - browsers are already implementing a lot, so I don't think anyone has to do much in the way of waiting.

@Ian - Thanks. I will try to. This was really just my instant gut reaction rather than a proper critique. I'm going to have a bit of a play about (I'm writing a HTML5 version of my current theme at the moment) and actually see how it feels and then get back to the list.

I have also since found your post to the mailing list about how microdata came about and was designed, which was fascinating in itself.

I agree that there is much stuff in HTML5 of questionable relevance and much material which is arguably duplicating functionality we can achieve with microformats and RDF.
"My final concern, which actually could apply to HTML5 as a whole and is more of a general are we ready for this yet?"

Possibly not, but HTML5 in that sense, is not about 'now', but about where we will be in something like five years time. Sure, early-adopters have started using HTML5 already, but main-stream use (by authors) is going to have to wait for main-stream acceptance by browsers, and that isn't now.

@rvercesi Of all HTML5 spec Microdata would look to be the most interesting to microformats community. But read Frances http://bit.ly/GvHDi
someone yell #microformats http://is.gd/GQxA
Not sure I get the point of HTML5 Microdata (http://tinyurl.com/oxdhew). Too similar to microformats - why reinvent the wheel.
