Just to stir the pot a little, and maybe it's a good idea to consider
authenticity in the whole discussion of authoritative cards. What

that they are giving the correct URL and that it isn't someone
impersonating you?
I'm getting into this late, but isn't the entire concept behind
rel="me"?
rel="me" links *must* be symmetric in order to create a distributed
verification system?. It's definition is "A link to yourself at a
different URL"[1]. According to the spec, rel="self me" is invalid
*unless*
you do not include the XFN profile on your Web site.
-1 to rel="self me"
