hCard properties on form elements

Use hCard properties as class names on form elements inside a container (such as a containing <fieldset> or the containing <form>) to indicate that those form elements accept values with the semantics of the respective hCard properties.

Example:

• how to markup a containing <form>, <fieldset>, or <div> element with the root class name vcard.
• how to markup <input type="text" > elements with hCard property names

Details:

• how to markup <select> elements (e.g. for state/region and country name, many examples)
• how to markup compound input fields, e.g. City, State Zip all in one field (per Yelp add business example)
