Why aren't you just using a mailto?

I suspect because he wants people to be directed to a page where they can get in touch, instead.

Why not just have a anchor that
points to the web page?

Perhaps he wants to be a sneaky bastard (tm) and take people to a different version of the website (perhaps a wrapper) while allowing the real website name to be used by people and tools too.

Wasn't this all explained in the initial question?

The inital problem I encountered with both propeties stemmed from the
fact that I hook into another Drupal module for link managment and
click-through tracking, the latter using a redirect after logging the
click-through.

So the goal is to have the href attributes point to click-tracking URLs, but have microformat parsers read the original URLs. Even though this is possible (as others have explained), it seems to violate the microformat principle of designing for humans first, machines second. In this case, machines are getting more useful links than humans.

Peace,
