[uf-discuss] web programmers vs web designers and microformats

[Kevin Marks]

In semantic HTML, the right way to do this would be to use <cite>
around the name:
<cite>Julie</cite>
so doing
<cite class="hcard" ><a href="http://juliettemelton.com/" class="url
uid fn" rel="friend">Julie</a></cite>

which has an implied nickname, and adds the XFN for "my friend"
