This looks like a generic problem. How to qualify an XFN entry with

Ah. Additional. In my earlier message I was assuming that you did not
know (or want to show) an HTTP URL for the contact. That is, that you
wanted to represent a person by their mbox_sha1sum *instead* of a
conventional URL.
<span class="mbox_sha1sum:fc521285feac8d1de0a488166aeeb9dbf99070e1">
<a href="url" rel="contact">their name</a>
<span>
That approach won't be picked up by any parsers that I know of. A
better approach would be to look into RDFa or eRDF. Very few parsers
though will handle both microformats and one of those.
At this point, I think you might as well publish the content in a
structured format like FOAF or one of the many Contacts APIs. Trying to
overload HTML seems like a poor alternative to FOAF with Auto-Discovery.
