Andy, it is actually a bit inappropriate to jump-in and rewrite a spec that
is that well established without at least discussing how to rewrite it
first, or emailing the editor at a minimum.

There has already been work towards making the specifications more
readable/approachable etc. and I've documented this task on the to-do page
here.

I'm going to revert the reorganizational changes you made to both hCard and
hCalendar for now, and would ask that you please refrain from doing so
single-handedly.

Please raise suggestions here on the list first and let's discuss them.  For
established specifications in particular (and perhaps any with an "editor"),
we really should respect that role until/unless it actually proves to be a
hindrance (which it hasn't so far).

Thanks much for your understanding,
