Apologies for the strong language ;)
As Martin says, I don't think we are forking. It's in general our
audience that doesn't understand the difference between:
<a rel="vcard:tel" href="tel:+1-789-887-799"/>
and
<span property="vcard:tel">+1-789-887-799</span>
I'd be already happy if they knew what the + sign meant and that 1 is
the country code for the country in which they live in ;)
The authors of the vcard spec no doubt have a different audience, I
assume the makers of email/address book/calendaring software.
Cheers,
Peter

Don't shoot the messenger! I'm not advocating pro or anti on this.
Both options suck in different ways :)
But if you have a strong view, please do provide feedback to the IETF
through their preferred channels, before doing something under the
vCard brand that could be perceived as a "fork". I'd also suggest not
using language like "reality check" if you want them to take your
feedback positively, since it suggests the alternate design came from
people who were not realists...
