Hi Alexander,

Could you provide a URL to an example on the Web that you are looking to
mark up?  Often times the surrounding context will yield critical clues for
the markup solution.

That seems like semantic noise, which should probably be avoided.

It sounds like you are proposing reusing the "tel" property outside of an
hCard.

That wouldn't "violate the hCard spec" per se, in that you wouldn't have an
invalid hCard, you wouldn't have an hCard at all.

It seems reasonable to experiment with using properties of hCard on their
own like that to see how it works with actual examples, especially given
that past such experiments have yielded additional microformats (geo [1],
adr [2]).

Doing so would be good use of POSH[3].

Thanks,

Tantek
