That is not logical. The problem case here is some container of class vcard, 
containing _several_ urls. So if to apply the class="url" to one of them, 
this means selecting that very special url to be the url for the VCARD URL 
field. So this _is_ then a special url.

Just as you wrote:

So class="url" means this is the value for the url property. This means, that 
the other urls are _not_. So this distinguishes this special url from all the 
others. This _is_ special. Just the word "definitive" is somewhat overused :)

So the point is: If you need to specify the one special url among a set of 
urls with class="url", then this microformats word "url" does not have 
exactly the same semantics as the word "url" defined by the w3c. The 
microformats word "url" specify one special outstanding url out of many, 
where the w3c "url" means, what you wrote, *a* url, not *the* url.
