The next thing down the tube (to coin a phrase) is the patenting of learning management systems by a number of companies, most notoriously Blackboard. <a href="http://mfeldstein.com/" title="e-Literate" rel="nofollow">Michael Feldstein</a> is recording events. Needless to say, academics are <em>not</em> happy. I have not seen so much <em>engagement</em> for ages.

But if I might make a suggestion or two... You should still wrap your full name in a [span class="fn"][/span], even though you're explicitly specifying "given-name" and "family-name". If you put the class="vcard" on the containing div (the one with the id of "maincontent"), you can combine your personal and business information into one card. Just add class="photo" to the image to get the picture in there too. I love the way you're using XFN for the links to Eric and myself and the coup de grace is the rel="me" link to the Happy Cog bio and the Wikipedia page. Mmmmm.... microformated yumminess. I've added your "about" page to the examples section of the hcard Wiki: http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard#Examples_in_the_wild Jeffrey, it’s excellent the way you’ve encoded your about page in hcard.
