Yes, definitely. And we should add a semantic topping ;-)

The strength  of the CIQ standard is that it does not constrain us to 
use a specific format e.g. for place (zip, city, address). But it 
defines a meta-model for information related to parties. To handle this 
flexibility, we have to implement configurable factories for the domain 
objects.

As soon as we have meaningful domain models, we can output them tagged 
with microformats without any additional line of code written by the 
extension developer (ok, maybe only one line "@bind 
http://www.typo3.org/ontologies/gems/person" in the class comment).
