hCard Profile
The following is an XMDP profile for the hCard specification.
It's also available as http://www.w3.org/2006/03/hcard. See profile-uris for more details.
http://www.w3.org/2006/vcard/ns has roughly the same information with a different editorial style.

HTML4 definition of the 'class' attribute.</a>
This meta data profile defines some 'class' attribute values (class names)
and their meanings as suggested by a
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-htmllink-970328#profile">
draft of "Hypertext Links in HTML"</a>.
All values are defined according to the semantics defined in the
<a href="http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard">
hCard specification</a>
and thus in
<a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2426.txt">RFC 2426</a>.</p>

Deprecated
2005-09-16:
The following class names have been deprecated in favor of singular names and the use of the "type" sub-property rather than class names for all of its values. hCard publishers MUST NOT use them as a class name.
- plurals:
- additional-names, honorific-prefixes, honorific-suffixes, categories
- type values:
- dom, intl, postal, parcel, home, work, pref, msg, voice, fax, cell, video, pager, bbs, modem, car, isdn, pcs, internet, x400
