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

[John Panzer]

OK, so this

<span class="fn">ChattingChuck</span>

would produce a blank N, but the implied nickname rule would kick in to 
produce nickname:ChattingChuck?

If so, then the remaining question is:  Is this useful enough to mark up 
as an hcard? There's not much you can do with the nickname without more 
context except display it.
