Good stuff.

Yes, this is one of the things that prompted my question. I noticed  
that on Huffduffer, Operator was extracted "author" as the whole string:

object author {
	0=—Huffduffed by adactio 11 hours ago
}

Right ...which is technically what the spec says but I guess the  
spirit of the spec would be to extract hCard *properties* (n/fn, url,  
email, etc. — as Optimus does) rather than extracting everything  
between the opening and closing "vcard" containing elements.

Perhaps I should an example to the hAtom examples page to show this  
usage of the author property.

Thanks for the responses,

Jeremy
