Just to stir the pot a little, and maybe it's a good idea to consider
authenticity in the whole discussion of authoritative cards. What
guarantees that when someone creates an hCard and puts rel="me self"
that they are giving the correct URL and that it isn't someone
impersonating you?

Would this be the place for a correlating hash to be included in the
hCard that the authoritative one has (which only the owner can
modify)?

Just a thought.
