It was clear. At least for me it was. It just doesn't work in the real
world. Presumably because using the <h1> for the author's name is of the
utmost importance and, because it's a block-level element, it precludes the
use of the <address> element for the parent container.

The good news is we can retain those semantics by requiring its presence
inside the authors hCard. I know it's not exactly what you intended, but
it's a compromise. I just don't think it makes sense to specify its use as
the parent container if it's not likely to see adoption. All I am suggesting
is that we move the requirement from *being* the parent container for the
hCard to simply being present *inside* of the hCard. This will differentiate
it from the other hCards in the document which, I think, is what your goal
is. And more importantly, it will be easier for people to implement as
specified.
