I created a simple XFN aggregating application, it occurs to me that
adding email addresses, both for the purpose of rel-me links and for
contact links is actually useful and something that should be
supported in XFN (it's currently not clear whether this is acceptable
or not; I'm making the case that it should be).
Therefore, this:
<a href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" rel="contact">Buddy</a>
should be as acceptable as this:
<a href="http://foo.com/buddy"; rel="contact">Buddy</a>
And, on http://foo.com/buddy, this should be permissible:
<a href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" rel="me">Buddy</a>
Clearly the biggest issue I see with this scheme is the inability to
link out *from* the email address. However, I'm not sure that this
case nullifies the utility of such links.
In principle it seems no worse to me than the aim: links currently
recommended in the hCard spec.
