IMO a suitable HTML idiom is:
 <addr class="vcard">...</addr>
Example:
 <addr class="vcard"><a href="http://example.com" class="fn url">John
 Doe</a></addr>

For multiple authors there are at least two possiblities:
#1: Using two hcards inside of one address element.
#2: Using two address elements with the class value "vcard".
I leave it to the list to decide which one is more elegant.



My question is: Should this be part of the hcard spec?

Thanks,
 Robert
