I've stayed away from using address on some of my pages precisely
because of this, so I'd be delighted to find I'd read it wrong!

address is an element designed to contain contact information. So if you 
want to include contact information use address. That is indepenent of 
using hCard or not. address is a html element, specified by the w3c, hCard 
is an attribute vocabulary, designed by microformats. You can pretty well use 
both together. In fact, microformats is designed in that way: To be used 
together with html.

I'm referring to it's inline-ness.

I believe that the (%inline) refers to what address can contain -- inline 
elements. See same structure for headings:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/global.html#h-7.5.5
 
I'm not the greatest at reading those specs, so if someone else can confirm 
that, I'd appreciate it.

Aha, that sounds probable (apologies to Siegfried).

The fact it can't contain block level elements still makes it unusable
for my needs though (I can't fit my hCard into entirely inline
elements, so my pages don't validate correctly if I add address).

Actually, it's more severe than just not validating. Nesting block  
level elements within ADDRESS triggers error-handling in browsers,  
such that the DOM does not reflect your mark-up. Mark-up such as:


 ADDRESS
-- DIV
 UL
 P

Will make a DOM of:

 ADDRESS
 DIV
-- UL
-- P

Where DIV is a sibling of ADDRESS, not a child.

This affects parsing, styling and anything you like,  another reason  
ADDRESS is not required by any microformat.

-Ciaran

But you can still use hCard -- just wrap it in something else (div 
id=hcard/div). address is allowed, not mandated.

And thank you Ben for the DOM clarification. I wasn't aware of that behavior.

Subject: Re: XFN usage stats and Re: [uf-discuss] rel=muse
implies romantic relationship?

Did you perhaps forget to change that?

microformats do not try to alter people's publishing behavior in an
unnatural way - and ask of them to make openly honest what is not
already so - unlike a priori formats efforts which seek to change
behavior as such with metadata etc. that they wish people would
simply magically start publishing.

Perhaps you missed this comment:


http://microformats.org/wiki?title=hresume-feedbackcurid=1777diff=0oldid=11198rcid=20574

in which a poster describes how he rejected hResume because it sought to
change his publishing behaviour.

skills are optional, as are linking them.

*all* microformats are optional; that's hardy the point.
