andymurd – I now remember that I probably customized Operator somehow when I installed it to show more hCard info than the standard build. I can’t recall for certain…

Good find! I hadn’t noticed that.

Not only is the address sub-microformat broken, but your “label” (an alternative, unformatted address in microformats; but a “formatted address” in the parent vCard spec) is given as object label “0=Name 1=Location 2=Web 3=Bio”.

Impressive … would never had noticed myself.

But it a interesting development … cool stuff. What I like is Twitters ability to keep things simple … the new Facebook is not a succes in that area.
