(Originally sent to the WHAT WG list. I was advised to resend here.)

How is one supposed to extract conformance requirements from the hCard and hCalendar specs? The section that defines the format in both specs is rather short. Is it an obvious bijective mapping between hCalendar/iCalendar and hCard/vCard for those who are familiar with the iCalendar and vCard formats? (It isn't obvious to me.) The existence of
http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard-parsing
suggests that the specs themselves are not sufficient descriptions of the formats and their processing.

Are there even any conformance requirements for these formats? (The specs seem to encourage view source instead of pointing to conformance criteria.)

I am developing a conformance checker for HTML5, and HTML5 may end up making a normative reference to hCalendar and hCard.
