Applying class="url" means selecting that "very special" URL to be *a* URL
for the hCard.

Please re-read what I wrote above.  *A* URL.  There is no assertion of
uniqueness ("the").

Indeed. Siegfried, note that many address book applications (and some Microformats parsers) do allow multiple URLs in a VCard. In such a case, ALL those URLs in the hCard mark-up will have @class*=url.


then this microformats word "url" does not have
exactly the same semantics as the word "url" defined by the w3c.

No, the microformat class name "url" has the semantics of the "url" property as defined in vCard and iCalendar. See the hCard profile which defines the
class name "url": http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard-profile


I must concede, I find this part of the discussion very confusing. As best I can tell, we're discussion two completely different contexts of the word 'URL' here. One is the definition and specification of URLs is, the other is the use of the word URL to relate a URL contained in the @href attribute, to a defined property.

I don't see why the definition of one should be expected to affect the definition the other?
