I thought hCard was for contacts. The MicroFormats wiki page: http://microformats.org/wiki... doesn't have much on using it for places. Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... seems better but there doesn't seem to be a good example of how hCard would used for a Place Page.

hCard is for any contact information — especially addresses and places. A restaurant can be a contact, as can a business. If fact, this is what the format is for, so it's disappointing that Google didn't lead by example and make sure to use the appropriate microformats.

You can find them -- since at least 2006 -- on every Yahoo! Local place: e.g. http://local.yahoo.com/info-36... Yikes! Half the HTML on the Google page doesn't even use quotes around the attributes. Haven't seen that style in a long time.
