I think we all agree that using the <address> element is certainly the most semantically appropriate element to use when marking up a document author's contact information.
The question is whether or not using <address> as the parent element for the author's hCard is a SHOULD or a MUST in hResume. As Angus mentions, it poses a problem because the <address> element is an inline element and thus only accepts inline elements as children. In the hResume draft, it is written: Schema: * contact info. required. <address> + hCard. Field Details: * contact:: Current contact info. The <address> with hCard. Does the above mean an hResume author MUST use the <address> element to mark up the authors hCard? In my hResume (http://steve.ganz.name/hresume/), I've chosen to mark up only the "adr" portion of my hCard with the <address> element. It is most important for me to use the <h1> element to mark up my "fn" and "n", so I've placed that outside of the <address> element and am using a <div> for the parent hCard. So while this is valid XHTML, is it valid hResume?
