Sorry if this sounds pedantic, I'm not trying to be. There's some
assumption in what you're saying that I'm not getting.
The difference in interpretation is this: You're looking to describe
the *one true hcard*, to rule them all, bind them in the darkness and
so on and so forth.
What Ryan is describing is *relative*. So linking with UID from one
small hcard in the footer of ben-ward.co.uk to a larger, more
complete hcard at ben-ward.co.uk/about is saying, very simply: ‘/
about is the authoritative hcard _of this hcard_’.
Now, to step back into this discussion after a little break, this use
of UID solves *my* problem; a way to point from small snippet hCards
that contain name/URL to larger ones which contain comprehensive
contact details. I'm not trying to rule Middle Earth, just to say
‘there's a more comprehensive hcard over here’. And for me, this
would do the trick very nicely.
Of course, there's nothing to stop me linking _that_ ‘/about’ hCard
to another one somewhere else; such practice should not be
disallowed. But at this point, that could be getting out of 80:20.
Regards,
Ben
