Nelso adds support for microformats

The recent release of Yahoo's SearchMonkey has prompted us to add support for microformats to the Nelso sites (e.g. hCard). Once Yahoo crawls our pages, we'll use this data to enhance the search results returned by Yahoo for local search in Europe.

You should fill also "fn" (friendly name) hCard property, othervise your hCards a la http://www.nelso.cz/cz/place/4823/ are unreadable in some tools. In this case "fn" can be at the same tag as "org" e.g. "Skoda auto" is good choice for "fn".

Thanks for the heads up on the "fn" property. I've fixed the HTML for the business detail pages on all the Nelso sites.
