So as I understand that, the rules for getting the most authoritative
hCard for a given URL are:

1) parse hCard at current URL
2) If the hCard includes <a class="uid url">, load the URL in the
href, and return to step 1.

When the consumer gets to http://theryanking.com/blog/contact/#vcard
and finds no <a class="uid url">, it stops there and that's his
authoritative hCard.

OK (and I'm not trying to turn into Andy here), but doesn't this feel
at least a little unsatisfactory? That the authoritative hCard is the
one that _doesn't_ have a UID, i.e. potentially has less information
than a fragment hCard?!

I'm not killer against the idea or anything, but at least I think that
should be brought up.

Here's one potential usage snag:
- I copy the hCard at http://theryanking.com/blog/contact/#vcard to my
"address book"
- I use it somewhere (to refer to Ryan King)
- It doesn't have a UID, so there's no tracing it back to source

Regards, etc...
