I haven't figured out the RDF vocabulary behind hCard, but
I have done hCalendar:
  http://www.w3.org/2002/12/cal/glean-hcal.xsl

And the profile URIs aren't completely essential; they just
make things more convenient. But one can just link straight
from the document to the transformation without going via
the profile. For example, see...

This record is partially formalized using hcalendar and GRDDL. The
glean-hcal transformation extracts data from this document. If you don't
have a GRDDL client installed, you might be able to use the GRDDL
service. The actions and event-related decisions are available in .ics
and RDF/.xcal formats
]]

The static RDF version there should be the same thing you get from
a GRDDL client, such as our demo service
  http://www.w3.org/2003/11/rdf-in-xhtml-demo

I posted to the rdf-calendar list about it a while back...
