Hello,

Hi Jason :)

I'm new to the list and just learning about microformats. Cool stuff.

My question / proposal is this.

Is there and should there be something I will refer to as an alias
(hAlias)? The motivation to have and offer one's alias is to maintain
a greater level of privacy. Suppose I want to give someone a way to
contact me without divulging all my vital (more permanent and
personal) attributes. Sort of a disposable email, or such. I can
imagine that 3rd party services would offer some privacy enhanced
email services, etc.

hCard already fits this.  For hCard the only required information is a
name - and of course, the name you choose to use online is completely
up to you!  Any other information is completely optional.  In theory,
you could maintain two identities online realistically - one real, and
one alternate identity.

Basically, I want a way to introduce myself and provide some contact
information without requiring a full disclosure.

Schema-wise this is really just a handle, optional description, and URL.

I look forward to your comments and suggestions.
