--- i would also disagree with this because  then you creating
dependancies across ALL microformats, now and forever. If i create a
VALID hCard 1.0 parser... in 2 years when hFooBar hits the web, my
VALID 1.0 parser is no longer valid - other microformats could
obsolete existing standards. Microformats are meant as building blocks
and they should be able to be using independantly and together...
otherwise everytime someone marked-up an hCalendar with an hCard for
the venue, your hCalendar location would be empty. It's not a bug,
it's a feature.
