Re: microformats, profiles, and taking back rel/class names [standardizedFieldValues-51]

Why not instead of

<div class2="http://example.org/human-resources/employee">

just do

<div class="employee" profile="http://example.org/human-resources/">

Or, at least keep the option of @profile in the header so one doesn't
have to write @profiles for every div element.
