Perfect, we'll want that in the Recipes wiki page :)

I don't know how much that @about buys you, really. You could just keep 
it as a bnode. You could make the URL in

the description, using rel="cal:description" (depends on cal: 
vocabulary, but it seems okay to me.)

Technically, dc:creator should point to a node, not a literal, which may 
be a good thing actually because of your next requirement:

So how about:

   <span rel="dc:creator">
     <span property="foaf:name">
        Frank Jones
     </span>,
     <a rel="foaf:worksplaceHomePage" href="...">
        homepage
     </a>.
   </span>

which includes a nice little bit of chaining?
