One proposal would be to introduce a very simple pattern for groups

grouping elements - the class attribute. So how about treating hCards
that share a common class name other than 'vcard' as a loose group?
<div class="vcard brighton">
<div class="fn">Jeremy Keith</div>

I think it's only logical. However, using IDs is what gives the
capability to address a specific microformat content outside of the
context of the document (URL, in less fancy words). How would one use
classes to do the same?
Oh, it wouldn't. I was thinking more along the lines of Jeremy's idea
of addressing a group of hCards.
As for addressing an specific hCard from outside the document, then
indeed, we just need a small set of ID conventions. An ID must be
unique in a document of course, so these should be namespaced in some
way, so as not to force publishers to rework existing documents. e.g.
'author-vcard', not just 'author'. The only requirement on parsers
then should be fragment support, which is already a requirement.
