  1. Just used it for the first time myself! It’s worth doing as it gives meaning to the data, and Google is utilising this information

    Only problem I have with microformats is that is gives the spambots all the goodies they need to annoy us. Without obfuscating the data, I would no sooner use microformats than plain text on my website. Until this gapping crater is fixed, I can’t support this stuff (good idea… bad implementation).

    Attila, the class vcard is a root class name that indicates the presence of an hCard.
