Is there any reason hcard microformats should be used?

  • I am wondering if hcard is even required or if it is just an extra rich snippet that is not needed since it is already in the schema.org? All my other markup except for breadcrumbs (schema still being finalized for breadcrumbs) is schema.org.

    Line 134-135 of review-template.php

    $box .= '<div>Reviewed by: <span class="reviewer author byline vcard hcard">';
					$box .= '<span class="author me fn" itemprop="author">' . $review_author .'</span></span></div>';

    For now I altered those lines to remove the hcard

    // $box .= '<div>Reviewed by: <span class="reviewer author byline vcard hcard">';
$box .= '<div>Reviewed by: <span itemprop="author">' . $review_author .'</span></div>';

    As I remember, this was added to fix issues with some themes, so I think it’s ok to remove it.
