I have no objections to this. It's a useful extension to hCard as a ‘profile’ format; which it is very much being used for on the web.
I would be prepared to have ‘hCard profile extensions’ separated from hCard, though. There's value in the hCard spec being 1:1 with vcard, especially with regards compatibility with desktop tools.
Although this particular extension wouldn't have a major impact on that use, if we're to open the can of adding new fields, I'd like it considered that we clearly separate it, perhaps into a separate specification, citing hCard as the base and then fully specifying additional fields.
That way it remains valid to implement hCard for the purposes of just representing vCard on the web, and more suitable implementations could embrace these extensions as well.
Does anyone agree? Ben _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
