[uf-discuss] hCard and vCard agents

On another mailing list, someone was asking how best to provide hCards
for a company and its agents without having to replicate the company's
data to each hCard. Of course, one way to achieve this is using the
include-pattern. A better, more consistent (with vCard) way, though,
would be to embed the agents inside the organisation's hCard as nested
hCards.

As I've kinda hinted, this is achieved in vCard by embedding
sub-vCards as 'agents', as detailed in the vCard profile[1] in §3.5.4.
Is there any issue with including this in hCard (or is it already: I
couldn't see it referenced anywhere on the wiki)?
