Is it even needed for a "master"/authoritative hCards to recognize
their children?

I can see a use for it. For example, I'd like to primarily identify
myself with a single URI [1]. From that starting point, I could (for
example) point to my own hand constructed hCard elsewhere or I could
use a professional service, such as LinkedIn.

On the authorative hCard, I could then backlink to [1] and this would
provide protection against one form (and I know there's many others)
of identity hijacking.

Regards, etc...

I should have reworded:

Is it necessary for authoritative hCards to recognize ALL their children?

It might also be semantically wrong to put rel="me" on a link to an hCard that isn't on a site that's your own, anyway.
