That will presumably be at the discretion of the people who run the '.tel' domain (i.e. Telnic), since there aren't expected to be any user-creatable websites in '.tel'. It might be worth evangelizing to them. Given that we're currently in the sunrise period for '.tel' and applying for your '.tel' will cost you a cool $400, it may be a while before we start seeing large scale adoption of '.tel' by individuals. I don't know if prices will fall when the landrush period starts in February of next year. Incidentally, there's an outfit called chi.mp (http://chi.mp/) who do something broadly similar to Telnic. They give you a (currently) free '.mp' domain to host contact information and links to your social network activity, and act as an OpenID delegate. They would also be a candidate for use of hCard: at present, the chi.mp-generated 'home pages' include a <span> element with class 'vcard', but the examples that I've seen are not a valid hCard. See, for example http://laurel.mp/. It looks as if chi.mp aren't trying to support hCard properly. I'd think that both of these services would also be good candidates for use of rel-me, hResume (AFAIK they don't offer resume support, but perhaps they should), and maybe hAtom (if they republish hAtom-izable content such as blog or micro-blog posts).
