Thanks Ben.  I just went to the URL you referenced.  It is very clear
and well written. 

Oddly enough, I have read that hCard specification.  I guess that I
missed that part.  

Too much information to absorb.  I'm slowly and steadily mastering this
great technology.

Subject: Re: [uf-discuss] Four questions about hCard

<http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard#Organization_Contact_Info> covers
the issue of how to use an hCard to represent an organization:.

Some questions for Roger:
* Did you see this resource?
* If you hadn't seen it, if you had seen it, would it still have been
unclear how to mark up for an organization?
* If you did see it, was there anything in particular that was
ambiguous?
* Any suggestions on making the resource mentioned a bit more salient?
(easier to find, easier to read?)

Thanks.
Ben
