Alf, this is certainly an interesting case to evaluate and figure out.

Could you add the URLs to the examples/explanations from postgenomic.com to
the hReview feedback page, as well as perhaps example hReview markup of how
you think it could work (with your suggestion of the use of the 'url' class
inside an 'hreview' class).

 http://microformats.org/wiki/hreview-feedback

This will help both the folks working on the hReview spec and
implementations to better understand the implications, as well as capture
this use case for future analysis.

Thanks!
