Hi Kilian,

How would you propose XPN deal with entities (both the referrer and the linked page) that are not singular human beings (companies, departments, etc)? It seems like a group microformat ( see http:// microformats.org/wiki/group-brainstorming ) would be a prerequisite for meaningful XPN. However, all the proposals for a group microformat are about the individual-as-member-of-group relationship and don't seem like they would make allow XPN to express relationships like "as an employee of Foobar ltd, I worked on project X for Fred's Widgets".

Perhaps this is getting too close to hResume land, but it seems like XPN, as it stands now, may not be as precise as I would like.
