Does this need to be limited to hCard?  I think identifying pointers  
to a canonical source of data is a broader problem, as copying and  
manipulating data between sites is a standard activity on the web.   
Any search engine is full of links back to canonical sources.   
Trackbacks are links back to canonical sources.  Bloggers quoting  
each other typically link back to canonical sources.  Pingerati has  
three links back to canonical sources of what could be abbreviated  
hcards (fn only), and right under that is the same thing for events  
and reviews.  Can we expand the types of examples we're looking at?

Peace,
