--- it has not been developed yet for hCard for several reasons. No
one on the internet seems to be publishing data in this way. Secondly,
i'm not sure if/how current address book application import/display
this data?

The other downside is that if you embed an hCard as an agent, how do
you then just pull out that person's data independantly of the
company?

I think the include pattern is the best way to associate a person's
information with the companies.
