The implication I've always taken from the "simpler problem first"
principle is that this makes the more complex problems easier to
solve. But this is only true if the simpler problem actually helps
solve the more complex problem. Related hCards is also a simpler
problem than book citations, but we don't half that discussion
because solving the simpler problem has no descernable impact on
the more complex problem. I think what's confusing those of us
interested in the more complex problem of authoritative hCards is
how solving related hCards would actually help solve that problem.
And maybe that's because what you're describing is actually more
specific that "related hCards" implies. It seems here you're just
talking about a single relationship: identity.
Yes. You're exactly right. I'm afraid I haven't been that clear. When
I say "related hCards" I mean related in that they represent the same
person or organization. I've been using "related hCards" as shorthand
for "hCards that represent the same person or organization", which I
now realize must be confusing. (but it seemed so clear in my head! :D)
