True, but a mechanism for this sort of thing already exists for microformats in XMDP, and in a somewhat more flexiible form, in that one does not need a monolithic profile for all the modules involved, one can have a seperate profile for each module and link to each seperately. The basic

I just looked over the hcard spec again. 'fn' is formatted name, and it implies another element 'n', which is required by the vCard spec. In the XMDP profile for hCard, they refer us to this section of the vCard RFC: 3.1.2 N Type Definition To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Registration of
