Instead, I would like to propose that "source" be traversed to

[my apologies if my shifting position seems to undermine my case. I
have learned much discussing this topic and can see why
"via"/"via self" has problems and find "source" to be both in the
vCard spec and suitable for the usage.)
I don't think you did, Joe.
CATEGORY in vCard became rel-tag in hCard because rel-tag was already
defined as semantically the same.
SOURCE in vCard can become rel-via in hCard because rel-via is
already defined (in Atom) as semantically the same.
[Ryan King] also stated:
Indeed, in vcard UID is just a string, but my proposal is that we
make it by default a URL. It's a simple change (which may already be
implemented in X2V).

Previously, [Ryan King] objected:
SOURCE is already used by X2V to indicate the URL at which the
current hCard is available. I don't think we'd be able to override
that at this point.
I respect the work done by Brian Suda and others on X2V, but this
argument doesn't pass the smell test.
Basically either decision is going to have to change the way
parsers (including, but not only X2V) handles hCard. We'll need
to create a new parsing rule for fields that
should-be-but-are-not-required-to-be URL's regardless. This
argument will inevitably lead to a draw.
