Hi all:  I just had a bad experience in trying to enhance some examples at 
http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard-faq#X2V_does_not_convert_email_with_name_as_plain_text

I wanted to create a "live example" on the Wiki, i.e. use actual Microformats 
in an example so 
that Microformat enabled browsers would be able to extract the example.  I 
entered this code:

=====

One possible valid hCard markup would be:

<pre><nowiki>
<span class="vcard">
  <span class="fn">Firstname Lastname</span>
 &amp;lt;<a class="email" href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]">[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]</a>&amp;gt;
</span>
</nowiki></pre>

This might be displayed as:

<div style="border: thin dashed black; padding: .5em ;">
<span class="vcard"><span class="fn">Firstname Lastname</span> &lt;<a 
class="email" 
href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]">[EMAIL PROTECTED]</a>&gt;</span>
</div>

=====

Unfortunately, this rendered REALLY poorly in the Wiki -- it seems the "<a 
href..." entity is 
stripped out by the Wiki.  Using Wiki markup, eg. 

  [http://[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

displays properly, but doesn't allow me to apply Microformats to create a "live 
example".

What to do?  This has already given one IRC participant the heebie-jeebies and 
a hissie fit...
