microformat

One of the problems I am see a lot with hResume is now properties which
reused pre-existing microformat are mark-up.
A good example is "education" in hResume which is hCalendar, I believe
it should be mark-up like so:
<p class="education vevent">
<span class="summary">Bighton Univ</span>
(<span class="dtstart">1985</span> - <span
class="dtend">1988</span>)
</p>
The education property is a hCalendar and as such the same class
attribute should carry both "education" and "vevent". I have built my
parser to look for this type of pattern, but quite a few authors on the
web are using mark-up like this
<div class="education">
<p class="vevent">
<span class="summary">Bighton Univ</span>
(<span class="dtstart">1985</span> - <span
class="dtend">1988</span>)
</p>
</div>
Breaking apart the "education" and "vevent" into separate element class
attributes. Correct if I am wrong but only the first pattern should be
supported by parsers.
Either I need to update my parser or the wiki needs some good pointers
on how properties which reused pre-existing microformat are mark-up.
