It's actually more inspired by the hCard microformat than directly by the vCard RFC. Predefined types for microdata (and indeed the microdata idea as a whole) is one of the more contentious areas of the current HTML5 drafts. Try not to be *too* influenced by it as there is a high probability of it being removed or changed before HTML5 reaches Last Call. -- Toby A Inkster <mailto:m...@tobyinkster.co.uk> <http://tobyinkster.co.uk>
