Many web designers, like me, create numerous web sites for clients. Normally we leave some kind of signature link at the bottom of the page, if the client permits.

I propose a new microformat that credits the designer of a web page.  If the client doesn't want it visible, you can use visibility:hidden in the stylesheet. But should be always in the HTML of the page.
Taking Brian's suggestion, we could add a class to hCard.  I'll put up an example soon.
 
<pre><div class="designby">
<a rel="design_shop" href="http://authorswebsite.com">Website Design</a> by <span rel="designer">Joe Webdesigner</span>.

I'm sure you Microformat pros can improve on this.  Please do.

Problem

Many web designers, like me, create numerous web sites for clients. Normally we leave some kind of signature link at the bottom of the page, if the client permits.

It might be helpful to establish a standardized markup for this.

Possible Solutions

Taking Brian's suggestion, we could add a class to hCard. I'll put up an example soon.
