'dday' struck me as wrong for this (this is a new term for the date of

In the spirit of microformats, it seems that 'dday' would be wrong for
the simple fact that 'dtend' already exists and has a defined use
fitting exactly what is being looked for. Although if it were being
used, I would assume you would need to use a 'vevent' to indicate that
this is the date of death, and not the end date of employment, or the
date that a person stopped working at a place or phone number.

I suppose the truly morbid could reuse vCard's "adr" and/or "geo" to keep
track of burial locations of the dead.
The first thing that popped into my head was genealogy work, where this
would actually make a lot of sense. ('location' in a death 'vevent'
would presumably indicate the place of death).
Still this just doesn't seem right to me.
Not that I'm proposing that hCard be used for genealogy, but if a
genealogy format were made it would likely pull all relevant classes
from hCard. In fact, it would probably just be an hCard with a few
missing/additional classes.
