[uf-discuss] mixing vocabularies

[Peter Mika]

Hi Brian,

So even if we all agree to all this, minimally two changes needed to the 
example on the wiki:

-- hcard should be vcard
-- all required properties of the hcard should be present OR hcard 
should be removed

Would you edit it?

Thanks,
Peter
