My concern about this is that many publishers (myself included) try to avoid linking a page to itself due to usability concerns, e.g. "I just clicked on that link and didn't go anywhere. This site is broken."
Just a shot in the dark here, but couldn't the <a class="url" ...> be assumed to be pointing to the hCard owner's site where it could be further assumed that the authoritative hCard would reside? What's more, if the href in the <a class="url"...> contained an id for the actual hCard in question then you'd be pointing directly to the correct hCard (in case the page contains multiple ones, for work/home/etc...) An example would be: <a class="url" href="http://mydomain.com/contact.html#myInfo";...> In the case of the authoritative hCard itself it could simply point to it's own id like so: href="#myInfo", though I can see what you mean about it giving the impression that the link is broken. But it isn't illegal code. As a matter of fact, the authoritative hCard should probably contain a full url with id included for accessibility's sake (otherwise if the hCard is ever exported it won't have a url, just an id). Just my 2 cents, A. _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
