			* I disagree. FOAF and XFN are both widely implemented standards for publishing relationships online. Many social networks expose their data in one of or both of these formats. (See [http://microformats.org/discuss/mail/microformats-discuss/2008-March/thread.html#11745 "XFN getting smoked by FOAF" thread on uf-discuss, March 2008] and [http://esw.w3.org/topic/FoafSites FoafSites, ESW Wiki, W3C]. And as far as identifying the online network that the contact is in, the domain name of the link should do the trick in most cases.
