awesome!
Somewhere along the way an odd thought occured -- it seems that XFN
and hCard are closely related. XFN describes relationship of a person,
represented by the target page, and hCard declares that this link is
part of contact information.
Yup. See Tantek's blog for an example of this in action.
Also, there's a bunch of ideas about XFN + hCard going in the other
direction, which need to be explored at some point (when I have more
(literal) bandwidth).

What do you guys think? Is this crazy? I remember Drew arguing about
the dangers of implicitly blessing links as hCards
(http://allinthehead.com/retro/287/the-dangers-of-automatically-
generating-hcards),
but I can't remember where the discussion ended up.
Yes, you need to be very careful about this. But I don't have any
suggestions for how to do this without making your UI more complex.
