That seems like a good idea, so long as non-http hrefs (mailto:, tel:,
etc.) are parsed correctly:

        <a href="mailto:ryan at example.com" class="vcard">
        Ryan Cannon
        <\a>

would be OK, but what about:

        <a href="mailto:ryan at example.com" class="vcard">
        ryan at example.com
        <\a>

?

How would existing parsers treat those examples? Would they simply
ignore them?
