Interesting question. I believe the intention was that the expanded form would be OK, not because of a non-semantic head or tail within the hCard, but because there could be non-semantic text in the middle, e.g. Written by <vcard><fn>David Janes</fn> who's blogging at <url>http://code.davidjanes.com</url></vcard> Regards, etc... -- David Janes Mercenary Programmer http://code.davidjanes.com _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
