[uf-discuss] adr in hCalendar

[Tantek Ç elik]

Both of these are good examples.

The ideal is perhaps embedding a complete hCard as the location, since hCard
provides more semantic/structured information than just an "adr".  E.g. in
typical examples, there is an actual named venue for an event.

<span class="location vcard">
<span class="fn org">SxSW</span> <span class="adr">
<span class="locality">Austin</span>, <span
class="region">TX</span> Conference center room 18</span>
</span>

For some concrete Examples in the Wild, see Jeremy Keith's most excellent
Austin SXSW events/venues/maps mashup:

View source and check out the numerous hCalendar locations which are hCards.

Thanks,

Tantek
