Correct. Which is still valid in the rel="me self"
case.

Sorry, I've got muddled here. According to which spec? Are
you  
referring to the “Exclusive of all other XFN values” part of
the  
rel=me spec [1]? That's also maintained, as rel=self
is not part of  
XFN, but (propositionally) of hcard.

Ben,

Don't you think he has a point though? If you think of it,
rel="me"
could suffice in that it refers to yourself at another URL
(in line
with the idea of an authoritative hCard) and once you get
there and
read that hCard and discover that it doesn't contain a
rel="me", you
know you're at the authoritative card. In that sense, why
add "self"?
Or am I now missing something?

A.
