Re: vCard RDF merge....

Apologies for the strong language ;)

As Martin says, I don't think we are forking. It's in general our 
audience that doesn't understand the difference between:

<a rel="vcard:tel" href="tel:+1-789-887-799"/>

and

<span property="vcard:tel">+1-789-887-799</span>

I'd be already happy if they knew what the + sign meant and that 1 is 
the country code for the country in which they live in ;)

The authors of the vcard spec no doubt have a different audience, I 
assume the makers of email/address book/calendaring software.

Cheers,
Peter
