While there already exists a generic Microformats parser for PHP, it does not suit our needs particularly well as it relies on the mbstring extension and there seems little appetite for changing this. Adding support for h-feed might therefore require an independent implementation.

There is a parsing specification, as well as a test suite, which should help considerably. The parsing FAQs also lists all the Microformats v1 root classes an implementation should be aware of.
