When you recognize something is out of scope for a given thread, yes,  
you should open a separate thread.

I mark up musician hCards with class="band vcard", e.g.:

http://playinghere.com/band/tylerjames/

You should start with semantic HTML (whether or not it matches what  
I've done).  Then if you then see value in standardizing your  
semantic HTML among multiple publishers (with a microformat or  
otherwise), this publishing experience will serve as a useful guide.
