Indeed, I knew it was an issue that was raised.  What was unclear to  
me was any decision about the mechanism that one would use.  Further,  
since other microformats (e.g., hCard) do not necessarily use this  
mechanism, it was unclear that it was one to strive for.

Ryan, not trying to be difficult, just asking for a clarification.   
Lighten up.

xfolk has a profile URL and has had one from the outset.  I'm now  
using the one on the wiki.  It has a version and everything.
