I've been thinking about hResume, and I have two thoughts on it:

First, I don't think having multiple hCard representations of the same person is the best way to organize the data. I think it would make more sense to make the entire hResume an hCard, since it's all representing the same person. This poses the problem of vCard not allowing multiple ORG and ROLE attributes, but I think this was a mistake in vCard, and was another mistake to adopt from vCard to hCard. I say this because I don't know a single person who doesn't have multiple roles in multiple organizations right now, not even accounting for history.

My other thought is that I think the general hResume conceptual model for dates should be more like hAtom's.

hAtom: feed contains entries with date attributes
hResume: resume contains dates which contain contact information

I think conceptually, the dates in hResume are attributes of the contact information, just as they are attributes of the entries in hAtom. The contact information holds meaning without the dates, but the dates don't mean anything outside the context of the contact information. If we intend to assert a date of relevance for hCards, I think that information should be contained *within* the hCard.

Peace,
Scott
