Alex, welcome and congrats on the release! As I was telling Tantek last night, you've now "operationalized" his hcard demo. ;)
This is really quite cool and a great start. Our challenge, in my estimation, is to move beyond simple data conversion (as useful as that is compared with what little we have today) and start to look at the meeting point between semantic data in webpages and behaviors that can be contextually applied to them. A simple salient example is in Camino, where you right-click an email address and the menu offers you the ability to copy just the email address *or* look it up in Address Book. Clearly for any hcard, this behavior makes sense and I'd like to see work done (some of which I'm working on personally) to explore the user interface opportunities that microformats provide, espeically for browser makers.

One thing I notice is that if I view my resume (in hResume) at: http://www.nomadcode.com/info/resumeAngusMcIntyre.html the Operator menu shown under Google Calendar correctly pulls out all the hCalendar entries, but munges title and company together, i.e. Software developerblip.tv, ... Is this a flaw in Operator, or should I be marking up my resume differently to be more Operator-friendly? I've also encountered cases where it's not picking up what I believe to be a valid hCard, but I need to review my code to see whether it's really as valid as I think it is before reporting that as a bug.
