This all points back to the original problem which I still haven't got
a good explanation for.

Microformats that require no custom changes to servers or web page:
XFN
hCard
hCalendar
hAtom
hReview
Address
hResume
xFolk

Microformats that require specific settings on your web server, and
access by the user to configure that web server if necessary and a
very specific syntax that you might not be able to accomplish with
your configuration:
rel-tag

Does anyone see the disconnect or just me?
