Rather than attempting to shoehorn this into hCard, perhaps citations are

I think there is a large difference between what to do with contact data for an acquaintance who has recently passed away and how to mark up historical information on a stranger, and my first thought was that the two are probably distinct enough to belong in two separate formats. But my second thought was that this is all similar to genealogical data, and perhaps both the personal and the impersonal purposes could be served with such a format, as some people do genealogy for personal reasons, and others do it for historical reasons. I see the start of such a format here:
