Hello John,
You don't have to use the whole hCard. Some Microformats have been
extracted from this.
There's "adr" -- http://microformats.org/wiki/adr -- for just
specifying addresses. And there's "geo" --
http://microformats.org/wiki/geo -- for just specifying geo info.
Hope that helps.
See ya

Hi all,
this is going to sound awfully pedantic I think, but I am just trying
to clarify the following from the geo specification
If the publisher knows and is publishing the name of the location in
addition to its geo lat/long, then the publisher MUST use hCard
instead of just geo to publish the name and geo lat/long of the
location.
Of course this makes perfect sense with most places - like a hotel,
or a human made landmark. But what about "natural" landmarks - like
Mt Everest, which have a name, but for which vCard doesn't seem to me
appropriate (as it's not "contact information").
I wonder, actually in that context, whether it would make sense to
mark up the Eiffel Tower with a vCard, or just geo and/or adr
(depending on the use context), as for example in a Tourist guide, is
infomation about visiting the landmark "contact" information ("person
or white pages type of directory information" - RFC2426 )?
But, I'd very much like people's thoughts
thanks in advance
