I met a webmaster recently who runs sites that effectively 'scrape' to provide a service. He said he loves microformats as it makes it so much less time-consuming to code the scrape elements of his system. He likened it to XML in it's standardisation.

I love the idea of rich snippets but after that conversation have been more reluctant to use them in case I get scraped more. Any thoughts?
