Re: Suggestion for Microdata to RDF conversion

What Tantek said[1]. And you spotted a bug in the current Microdata 
spec: "http://microformats.org/profile/hcard" is not the item*type*
for a vcard, it's the URI of the whole vocabulary. The itemtype value
should be "http://microformats.org/profile/hcard#vcard" to be in line
with the XMDP at "http://microformats.org/profile/hcard".
