I'm standing back from this discussion until I've updated the include- pattern documentation itself, since I feel my participation would be premature otherwise. The update following on our research at Yahoo is drafted and will happen once I've cleared a handful of other items from my actions list.

In the meantime…

Is the include pattern really necessary, for hResume at least? Given that each hCard describing a previous position is enclosed inside a hResume, and given that the resume itself has a card with contact details, including an fn for a person, can't a parser allow the enclosed hCards to inherit the fn from that top-level hCard?

This strikes me as absolutely the correct way to consider the problem. Off the top of my head the only spec which has an absolute demand for including no content-text is hResume — hReview is generally reusing an entire item, such that a small piece of relevant inner text is not duplication to the same degree.

If this is a valid problem, then revisiting hResume to see whether it still _needs_ to use the include pattern at all would be a better first step than jumping straight in with a mark-up solution.

I defer to hResume experts for feedback on that. But confirmation of the continued include-pattern requirement would be appreciated.
