I'm editing a page that lists editions of a journal, each entry

Title
Journalname 1 (2003)

Article 1
Author1, Author2 (Affiliation)
Article 2
Author3 (Affiliation)
and so on.
Are there microformats that would make sense to use here? I toyed
with the idea of making the author name lines use vCard, but that
runs into problems where you have multiple authors belonging to the
same organization. hAtom?
Seems like a very good fit with hAtom, the only complication being the
presence of multiple authors which is unhandled in hAtom, and…
untested… in hCard.
VCARD has a concept of ‘AGENTS’, which effectively nests vcards within
each other. They're unhandled in desktop software, so demand to work
out parsing rules in hCard has been low. If my understanding of AGENT
is current, though, this seems like an appropriate place to use them.
It should look something like this:
<div class="hentry">
…
<div class="author vcard">
<span class="agent vcard">
<a class="fn url" href="#">Ben Ward</a>
</span>
<span class="agent vcard">
<a class="fn url" href="#">Cyril Doussin</a>
</span>
(<span class="org">Yahoo!</span>)
</div>
…
</div>
My understanding is that both named people should be ‘agents’ of the
organisation. As to how this parses… that could be more fun and needs
input from parser developers when they get a moment!
