[uf-discuss] multiple hCards on a user's profile page - how can I mark one as the actual user?

Mostly looks good, but I'd suggest that you seem to have some of the  
relationships backwards. For example, Tantek has the following on his  
page:

	<a href='http://juliemelton.com' rel='muse'>Julie Melton</a>

which you convert to:

	  <Person rdf:ID="hcard">
	    <name>Tantek Çelik</name>
	    <rel:mentorOf>
	      <Person rdf:about="http://juliemelton.com">
	        <name>Julie Melton</name>
	        <weblog rdf:resource="http://juliemelton.com"/>
	      </Person>
	    </rel:mentorOf>
	  </Person>

(I've simplified both down a bit.)

I would suggest that the FOAF should be the other way around: Tantek  
apprenticeTo Julie; not Tantek mentorOf Julie. (Yes, the terms  
"mentor" and "apprentice" seem a bit odd, but they're about the  
closest terms that the FOAF relationships extension has to "muse".)

Also, you needlessly output multiple foaf:knows for each person.
