Is Microformats vCard still a best semantic way to code "contact information", in HTML 5?

Question

Is Microformats still a best semantic way to code contact information in a web page?

I asked this question almost 2 years ago and got the answer where Microformat was the best solution. What is the best method to code physical address in html?

Now today in HTML 5, Is that still the best way?

<div class="vcard">
  <span class="fn">Gregory Peck</span>
  <a class="org url" href="http://www.commerce.net/">CommerceNet</a>
  <div class="adr">
    <span class="type">Work</span>:
    <div class="street-address">169 University Avenue</div>
    <span class="locality">Palo Alto</span>,  
    <abbr class="region" title="California">CA</abbr>  
    <span class="postal-code">94301</span>
    <div class="country-name">USA</div>
  </div>
  <div class="tel">
   <span class="type">Work</span> +1-650-289-4040
  </div>
  <div class="tel">
    <span class="type">Fax</span> +1-650-289-4041
  </div>
  <div>Email: 
   <span class="email">[email protected]</span>
  </div>
</div>

Answer 1

It's a little bit different in HTML5, but builds on the same concept. See:

• The spec @ http://www.w3.org/TR/microdata/

Answer 2

Here is the "conversion" form that I am using, if it helps. (The first couple of sites I forgot the html5 doc tag, and spent an hour trying to find out why it wasn't working, the document elements aren't recognized if the doc type is wrong, duh!)

<div itemscope itemtype="http://data-vocabulary.org/Organization"> 
    <h2 itemprop="name">Heading2</h2>
    TEXT text text

    <div itemprop="address" itemscope itemtype="http://data-vocabulary.org/Address">
        <span itemprop="street-address">12345 test way </span>, 
        <span itemprop="locality">Testville</span>, 
        <span itemprop="region">TS</span> 
        <span itemprop="postal-code">00000</span>
    </div>
    <span itemprop="geo" itemscope itemtype="http://www.data-vocabulary.org/Geo/" style="display:none"><!—Don’t display in UI-->
        <span itemprop="latitude">11.1111 N</span>  
        <span itemprop="longitude">11.1111 W</span>  
    </span>  
    <p>Call us at:</p> 
    <span itemprop="tel">555-555-5555</span>
    <div>
        <a href="http://www.blahblahbla.com" itemprop="url"> http://www.blahblahbla.com</a>
    </div>
</div>
