[uf-discuss] Re: Sanity check on hCard usage

[Chris Messina]

I think in order to validate, you need to supply at least the 'n'
value, even if the screenname is not the actual "name":

<li class="vcard"><span class="n nickname">ChattingChuck</span></li>

On the other hand, I don't know if you *should* mark up those
fragments as hcards given the 'n' requirement... I think it's good to
be semantic to the last drop, but I think Tantek's advice on this
issue would help: how little data can substantiate hcard markup?
