Ah, ok. Nice work Bill!

Additionally, it would be good if the "n optimization" bug could be
fixed -- since it mars an otherwise very good implementation.

I'm particularly excited by the combination class-vcard + id-GUID to
identify contacts throughout the system.

For example:

<div class="contactinfo vcard grid"
id="contactinfo_BFB63A8F_010E_1000_B680_56DD7E559131">

I did notice that the contact id=GUID was repeated, which obviously
also isn't correct, but the idea itself hold a great deal of power...
if only URLs could be turned into IDs:

<div class="contactinfo vcard grid" id="contactinfo_http://factoryjoe.com">
