The URL used by the spec is the one Tantek recommended.

"http://microformats.org/profile/hcard" is already pretty obscenely long. 
Adding "#vcard" on the end really isn't going to help matters.

If "http://microformats.org/profile/hcard" isn't correct, then I'd much 
rather go for something much simpler, e.g. "http://n.whatwg.org/vcard", 
than make it even longer.
