Which hcard does the 'agent' belong to?
If we were determining belonging with a nearest-parent algorithm
that started with self,
We're *not* using nearest-parent here. We're parsing top down.
Isn't that just the same thing with a different name? Whichever
direction you're parsing, you know which vcard a property belongs to
by looking at the closest vcard in the hierarchy. What I'm asking
is: why isn't the self considered the closest?

Unless you have a serious objection, I'd like to consider this
proposal
rejected and move on.
People continue to ask the same question over and over and the answer
doesn't make any sense to me (nor, apparently, David). I'm not
asking for a change in the spec. I'm asking for an explanation of
the spec, so that I will know what to say when I'm suggesting someone
use microformats and they ask me the same question. I can't honestly
say "it's ambiguous" because it doesn't look ambiguous to me. I know
very clearly which vcard that agent belongs to, and I know how to
tell a machine which it belongs to. What I don't know is why I
shouldn't be doing that.
Peace,
