You would have to place the current proposed markup inside an hEntry... 
parsers would have to change (a little)

Ok lets re-use hatom terms only this works...

<div class="hentry">
   <address class="author vcard">
       <span class="entry-title"><a class="url fn" 
href="http://contributor.com/blog/">Contributor</a> said</span>
   </address>
   about <abbr class="updated" title="2008-09-01T14:40:45+01:00">72 days 
ago</abbr>,
   <div class="entry-content">
      <p>Hey Great Post</p>
    </div>
   <a rel="bookmark" href="#comment-001">link to this</a>
</div>

Is this proposed mark up acceptable there is a test page here: 
http://weborganics.co.uk/test/test.html

and the extracted Atom Is here: 
http://transformr.co.uk/hatom/http://weborganics.co.uk/test/test.html

Is the above mark-up acceptable to everyone?

Best Wishes

Thanks..
