Nice idea. This would work, if the target resource (i.e. the target html page) 
has a root element of class vcard, or in case of html, at least a <body 
class="vcard">.
Or the url points to a container with an id within that page. Then f.ex. the 
target page may contain some
<address class="vcard" id="AlbertEinstein">
...
</address>

and then you might link to that address record with <a 
href="http://where.ever/me.html#AlbertEinstein"; rel="vcard">bla</a>

This would then have a similar meaning as the type attribute. The type 
attribute with its property defines the mime type of the target, the 
rel="vcard" would define a microformats address record as target. Nice idea.
