#2This looks like this project will benefit machines more by screening candidates out automatically before they've reached the human stage.
So effectively candidates will be rejected before they have even applied.

#3This is an interesting concept but as we have seen when the semantic web started out it only really served to enhance search engines instead or large tech companies would internalize the semantics of the data. Making large formats for interoperability never really caught on.
Naming the standard Mac is also an issue (due to a product by Apple Inc.) but since its an acronym you should always format it as MAC

That already stands for message authentication code and media access control.

#5Honestly I'm deeply against "standard CV", the only who benefit form them are giants who trade humans as livestock. If I choose to propose myself for a position I want another human on the other side reading who I declare to be and my motivations, digging as needed because choosing someone for a job MUST BE a serious human business. For similar reasons I'm deeply against those who mass-send CVs to anyone: when one need desperately a job, any kind of, and try fishing the best option MUST not be mass sending but simple State made public matching platform where any one on both sides for free can consult the other side mark some offers/people as interested to book a contact etc.
The actual "job market" is abomination that must be annihilated and companies who can't have enough HR resources for their scale simply must be resized by nature because being unable to humanly process human resources means a bad/too quick/too unbalanced dangerous growth. Similarly for companies who fail to have call centers etc (yes, Alphabet is one of them).
We are not robots, we are human who work to live, not the contrary, and we are a society not a factory.

There's also a cosmetics company named MAC.

#7If you can’t easily and intuitively understand why you shouldn’t call it “Mac” here in 2022, I confess to zero confidence that you’ll have successfully achieved any other objectives. Just being frank. The “Go” team ignored sense and it seems to have worked out somehow for them, so it may be moot to lose my random individual interest so quickly.

#8In my mind, "Use a standard, machine-readable CV to represent your skills and life's work" is practically saying, "Commodify yourself!"

Unfortunately, in today's job market, the first (seemingly only, sometimes) gate is what keywords are in your online resume/CV for the software to find, and hand to a human recruiter. And, in my experience, the human may not know much more than the grep-equivalent, since if they had those technical skills, they'd probably be doing that, not recruiting.
So, yeah, making it machine readable will help. This does not really negate what you said, but is another perspective.

#10I love the idea but the name is going to be a problem for discoverability.
