Two quick things... shouldn't this discussion move to microformats- dev?

Second, we did come up with a recommendation for handling IM nicks:

Pieter already addressed that, when he said:

(sadly, most apps only import the first URL element
and ignore following ones)

I believe the proper way to use these is to use URLs– its extensible in the same space as URI protocols and requires zero invention by us.

Unfortunately, others (Apple *ahem*, Microsoft *ahem*), decided to use experimental properties instead of URIs.

Experimental properties are fine and great for trying out new things, but I wish they hadn't reinvented things.
