I don't remember ever > receiving an hCard. I had never heard about it until this discussion. You probably won't ever see an hcard in an email, it is a microformat for use on the web. But it has quite a lot of adoption, and after LinkedIn adopted it, we really need a RDF representation urgently. That's one of the reasons I feel that subsets is the way to go, since the hcard subset is something we need urgently, whereas there are some more difficult problems to figure out, quite evident from the rest of your discussion, with regards to full vCard support. Now, the reason I'm advocating an hcard subset is not that it is a fine spec, it isn't, it is a horrible hack, but it is perceived to "do the job right now", and we need to "do the job right now" with RDF too.
