Interesting.

As hCards appear to be the most deployed source of locations
(structured, lat/long) on the web (per Web Data Commons) worldwide,
I'd like to request that the Locations and Addresses Community Group
actively reach out and liaise (e.g. through the W3C contact at a
minimum) with the VCARDDAV group at IETF (which is where the vCard
vocabulary is discussed/evolved that hCard is based on).

https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/vcarddav (I believe this list is
open for anyone to join)

with the goal of continuing to maintain a convergent contact/location
vocabulary.

Thanks,

Tantek
