Although this story is 90% fabulous news, the most disappointing part is how Google is only using Schema.org when they need to scratch their own itch.

In June, I pushed hard for Google to launch a schema to focus on job postings - http://blog.linkup.com/2011/06/02/linkup-recommends-new-job-.... It was completely ignored on every venue where I mentioned it. Now they make their schema - http://schema.org/JobPosting - public 3 days before announcing this initiative.

Google postponing progress on Schema.org until it best suits ensures that I won't take any of those schemas seriously ever again.
