Microformats only from the 'standards' aspect of it, really - at one time microformats.org were promoting themselves as the arbiters/guardians of all this sort of thing. A fork? From WordPress? I wouldn't want to upset Mr Mullenweg any more than I have already...

This sounds a little like you want a fork from WordPress that dumps the current set of template tags, and templates in general, and uses XML. Either that, or it's a rather complicated plugin you're talking about. I'm not sure where you gather the connection to Microformats or other semantic data formats from here though, returning data as XML is pretty standard in many other non-semantic applications.
