Andy,
(apologies for the tardiness, I'm in one of those old fashioned,
unconnected airomoplanes)
"me self" can't be anything but tautological; nor is it appropriate
when
referring to third parties. so:
in English, it is tautological. But restricting the words to their
roles in XFN and Atom, they mean quite different things - so I'd
respectfully argue that the construction isn't in this context
tautological.
The third party issue (I take it to mean that you can't refer to an
authoritative third party hCard for someone else using m, which is
quite correct).
I think that's a separate and more complex issue - how, if at all,
can you link to an authoritative hCard for someone else. Is there a
use case - sure - for example, at our conference sites, we markup
speakers with hCard, and this often includes a link to their blog
etc. In this case, a link to an authoritative (or perhaps, to be even
less strict "detailed") hCard may be somethign that is very useful.
-1
but isn't this sort of voting better done on the wiki than in a
mailing
list?
"rough consensus" - many more people see this mailing list regularly
than visit the wiki frequently (I'd suggest) so for gaining a sense
of rough consensus in a shortish timeframe (my original +1 was
informal) the mailing list does seem to me to be an appropriate
location for such straw polls.
