That's fine when the primary subject of the page is it's author.
Imagine, though, a biography of Paul McCartney. It might mention that he
was in a popular music ensemble with John Lennon, Ringo Star and George
Harrison, produced by George Martin, and was married to Linda McCartney
and someone else, and had children called Stella, Mary and so on.
The page's author might be, say, Hunter Davies.
Each of these people might have an hCard - but how do we indicate that
Paul McCartney's hCard is the primary one for the page?
