You might like to remember that not everyone reading this mailing list
will be suing the same font, or font-type, or line-length, as you.

Then, 1-1 name-matching not withstanding, it's badly named, and would
have been more clearly named as, say, 'vurl' or 'hurl' (!) or 'h-url',
or some other name which signified that it's not just "a URL" but "a URL
for a vcard".

After all, "class=-"url" is not unlikely to occur, in other contexts.

There are some problems with that page; I'll start a separate thread.
