My main problem is the class="vcard organizer". The hCal spec [1] says
"ORGANIZER in iCalendar may be represented by an hCard in hCalendar,"
so that's what I'm doing. I want the class="fn org" to be part of the
vCard, so I need to wrap the vCard around both the <h2> and the <p>,
which I can do in the vCard without the date being included, as the
date isn't wrapped in any vcard properties. But the two hCal->vCal
parsers I've tried (X2V and a bookmarklet in Safari of a source I can't
presently remember) both include "March 6th, 2007 at" as part of the
organizer, even though it's not part of the vCard. Is this behavior
correct?
It depends on what's meant by correct.
Is it what's supposed to be done given the knowledge we know have
available? Sure thing! Is it what's being supported by the existing
tools out there, not a chance.
Attendee and Organizer are currently defined as email addresses. Using a
vcard as the attendee is still in development and to be discussed.

When X2V interprets the hCalendar, it uses the existing mailto format
and extracts everything inside of attendee.
ATTENDEE:MAILTO:Valient Thorr at 8:00 pm w/ Fu Manchu Fu Manchu at 8:30
pm w/ Valient Thorr\, Artimus Pyledriver
We can tidy that part up by moving the organizer and attendee to their
most appropriate parts, like their website or failing that, their name
ATTENDEE:MAILTO://myspace.com/valientthorr
My second issue is with class="description" and class="value". I was
hoping the class="value" would restrict the description to just
concatenations of those nodes, as the hCard parsing [2] suggests:
But that doesn't happen. Is there a reason this is only applied to
hCard and not hCalendar, or even all microformats? It would also be
nice to be able to do concatenation using class="value" with the
dtstart and dtend as well, as my date and time are somewhat distant in
this markup.
The trouble comes when the computer tries to work out what property to
assigen those values to.
hCalendar Parsing hasn't been defined yet, so it's still in flux.
In this case you're wanting to join together the names of both bands and
have them on the mailto field called attendee. There are many problems
with this, so the best options are to either provide an actual email
address, or a link to their webpage.

It's still going to be officially wrong, but it's the best you're likely
to do for now.
