<p>Hi Alice. Nice page. I would like to introduce you to my

If a page has @rel="me" links then it shouldn't really be allowing
comments that can attempt to build social graphs.
The simplest way to stop it is to add @rel="nofollow" to any comment
links - this has the effect of negating any XFN values in the links,
as well as preventing linkspamming and all sort of other good stuff.
Where is this interaction specified? Should a compliant XFN parser not
emit any data from elements where it finds rel=nofollow? Does that
extend to all Microformats.org ('big M') microformats?
As others have said, this is a publishing issue rather than a parsing
issue. A page that is linked to with @rel="me", and then allows
outbound XFN values authored by people who are not the representative,
is broken.
Presumably they could *author* the links, but they just have to bear
in mind that (if the claims in the page are ever to be true) those
links describe the person who is the 'primary topic' (or 'owner') of
the page.
cheers,
Dan
