I started to take a deeper look at microformats<\/a> in the last days and it leaves me a little bit on my appetite.

I don’t understand, it is so important in my point of view. I want to be able to say: that information (hCard) is relation to that resource (myself, my profile). I want to say:<\/p>\n
