[uf-discuss] Legit hcard?

[brian suda]

This snippit of HTML is a valid hCard, but it makes little sense,
ndunn at ndunn.com is NOT a abbrivation, (short or long) of HOME. Secondly,
EMAIL properties can only take "INTERNET | PREF | X400" so HOME is not a
valid type. But yes, you would want to follow the class="value",
class="type" style encoding.

        <span class="email">
           <a href="mailto:ndunn at ndunn.com" class="value">
              <abbr class="type" title="home">ndunn at ndunn.com</abbr>
           </a>
        </span>

It should be something like:
        <span class="email">
           <abbr class="type" title="pref">Use this address to email me:
</abbr>
           <a href="mailto:ndunn at ndunn.com"
class="value">ndunn at ndunn.com</a>
        </span>
