Fictional or intangible entities in hCard

Can hCard be used for fictional or intangible entities? Is
this
addressed anywhere?

Examples:
* Purple unicorn
* Heaven Main Lobby
* Hypercube
* Dream character

On a more serious note:

  http:/

note that that's not the official microformats wiki.

Purple Unicorn : No.
Heaven Main Lobby : Yes.
Hypercube: Yes.
Dream character: Yes.

In fact, any fictional or intangible entity can be used as
long as the
"fictional or intangible" bit is set. Except
unicorns. hCard may not under
any circumstances be used to to represent unicorns, even if
the
"fictional or intangible" bit is set to true.

Note that setting the "fictional or intangible"
bit incorrectly can have
serious consequences, ref "Thor" or "God of
the Old Testament".
