It seems to me that vCard was never intended to fulfill this purpose,
and bending it to do so via hCalendar seems awkward. Instead, I
recommend you go with dday. After all, microformats are based on how
people are already publishing on the web, and this might be a basis
for an update (addition, extension, etc.) to hCard.
Besides, doesn't dtstart and dtend seem a little, well, cold?

Hi All,
How do I say "Albert Einstein (March 14, 1879 – April 18, 1955)"
using hCard? Specifically, what is the best way of expressing a
person's life dates?
"bday" seems like an obvious choice for date of birth. Would adding a
term like "dday" be appropriate for date of death?
Or would it be better to use "dtstart" and "dtend" from hCalendar?
This feels more elegant, except that "bday" is a more semantically
precise than "dtstart".
Or maybe some hybrid? perhaps class="bday dtstart" for birthday and
class="dtend" for death date?
Tim.
