This wasn't for me, but thanks for the info all the same. Confirmation I 
should say.

I saw the original question and did a little research, then found an hcard 
generator via Wikipedia and I ended up thinking wow, that's a lot of divs 
for an address block (kinda silly). Then I figured that was all nonsense, I 
could use a list, give each LI the appropriate class for microformat use, 
and have a nice day.

I'm relieved that's the case.

Yep. That's totally the trick.  Just believe in the simplicity.  Mark
up everything beautifully and semantically - then add in the
microformat class names.  Nothing more to it - *honest*.
