Doesn't Albert deserve his own vcard, too?

Not all images are photos. Let's please preserve semantics.

>cite is just posh

Albert Einstein is not being cited, in the above example. If anyone is, 
it's Ehrenfest.

>contributor from haudio

There is, as yet, no hAudio to take that from, Only a draft, in which 
the use of "contributor" is contentious. Also, "credit" would be more 
appropriate than "contributor" for a photo agency, for example.

Isn't legend "a key to the symbols or pictures in a map"?
