It is what is normally called "microevolution" now, that used to be called simply variation.
It isn't normally called 'micro-evolution' by anyone other than creationists. Allowing 'microevolution' to encompass speciation makes it a totally meaningless term.
Can you provide any evidence, ideally in the published scientific literature, to support your claim that this is the normal usage of 'microevolution' in evolutionary biology?
*ABE* Sorry my mistake, I see there are some texts which consider single instances of speciation as microevolutionary.
