If you look at This comment on my site, it might look like nothing - but check with Tails, and you find a hidden spam hCard.

It's very easy to produce one and embed it in to a post or comment, which will then be indexed by sites such as Technorati.

So what can we do to stop this type of spam before it starts?

Disucss.

Infact, its' been posted here too:

This hCard created with the hCard creator.

Unlike my site, it does appear here as style="display:none" is not supported, however the hCard still exists.
