I would vote of hCalendar --- this really is a full "event", the life of one person. It also would be the most natural extension of a "birthday event."

Hi All,

How do I say "Albert Einstein (March 14, 1879 – April 18, 1955)" using hCard? Specifically, what is the best way of expressing a person's life dates?

"bday" seems like an obvious choice for date of birth. Would adding a term like "dday" be appropriate for date of death?

Or would it be better to use "dtstart" and "dtend" from hCalendar? This feels more elegant, except that "bday" is a more semantically precise than "dtstart".

Or maybe some hybrid? perhaps class="bday dtstart" for birthday and class="dtend" for death date?
