Point taken. Thank you for the further explaination Scott. Back to the
drawing board for me.

Cheers,

If I right-click on a URL and choose "Add Link to Bookmarks" in my
browser, I should ideally get the same link that I would get if I
clicked on my microformat parser and imported the hCard.  It sounds
like I'm getting a different link, that you're presenting different
content to different user agents, which is less than ideal.

hCards are intended for machines to parse.  Humans can read the
content without hCards, but machines can't, so what humans see in
their browser is what I mean by "human-readable content," though
obviously humans are eventually using the hCard content as well.  In
your example, the human-readable (browser-rendered) content is less
useful than the machine-readable hCard.  It's a subtle difference, as
both links should eventually end up in the same place, but we should
avoid these differences where possible.
