A few frustrations/issues:
First up, the best-practice method of containing hCard within an
ADDRESS element appears hard to implement, given the inline nature
of ADDRESS. In my case, I tried to have [div#benmichaelward] (line
100) as an ADDRESS, but the block-level children triggers quirks
mode in browsers and causes the block level content (h1, ul, dl) to
become siblings in the DOM, not children, which in turn breaks
stlyling.
Yeah, <address /> is difficult. I hate to abandon it entirely, but
its too tough to use. Steve already pointed out that this is now
optional in hResume.
Second, I find the mark-up required for skills - using rel=tag - to
be rather laborious to author.
I agree, it is a bit verbose.
I appreciate the value of using tags, pointing multiple skill sets
to the same place, but there is a lot of typing involved, not to
mention the effort of hunting out the URLs. I honestly don't know
if there's a better way though, since everything I keep half-
thinking of as I type this doesn't actually help very much (briefly
the idea of a base URL for tags, but that doesn't actually get
around much of the labour problem).
Anyway, I felt that worth flagging up in case anyone was sitting on
an ingenious idea of a tag shorthand and needed motivation to post it.
I'm open to suggestions, but I think rel-tag is the best thing we
have to work with.
The last thing regards experience/education hevents that are still
ongoing (“2002-present”). Is it safe to assume, or should it
perhaps be specified in hResume itself, that ‘present’ is implied
by the absence of a dtend field?
Yes.
Mark-up pedantry greatly appreciated.

Your use of definition lists seems a bit suspect. I understand the
contact info bit, but the skills section may be better as nested
ordered lists (and xoxo?).
<!DOCTYPE html>
Wouldn't you prefer a more specific doctype?
And, I suggest running it through the validator.
