Lots of types

I missed the MicroContent types supported by the new SB-plugin. Norman d'Arcy has a relevant screen shot. The list of types is very nice. The plugin allows for publication of various events (concert, conference, event), lists (links, playlist, list), media (audio, image, video), reviews (album, book, cafe, club/bar, event, hotel/resort, local service, magazine, move/TV, restaurant, software, song, website) and showcase (group, people).

I do not know what all mean, nor what the implications are for the structure of each Item. I miss locational MicroContent types, i.e. types with a geographic location. Interestingly they found it necessary to add an event as review and as event. So what is the difference?

The one example that Norman d'Arcy shows gives me the impression that these MicroContent types can be very structured. So is all this structure only added to each blog item description field? Or is it also stored in a structured database? I guess it is the former. One should have an underlying XML database for the latter.
