I can see a use for it. For example, I'd like to primarily identify
myself with a single URI [1]. From that starting point, I could (for
example) point to my own hand constructed hCard elsewhere or I could
use a professional service, such as LinkedIn.

On the authorative hCard, I could then backlink to [1] and this would
provide protection against one form (and I know there's many others)
of identity hijacking.

Regards, etc...
