In my application, I'd like to subclass HCard into a module called
Formats, so that I can call Formats::HCard.whatever(). This is proving
difficult (using mofo 0.2.7) because the different microformat classes
are not enclosed in a module. If they were, I could declare:

module Formats
class HCard < Microformats::HCard

but since I can't do that, I tried:

module Formats
class Formats::HCard < HCard

...which messes up the find() code because the @container variable
gets the value formats::hcard.

Putting those classes into a module for easy namespace differentiation
seems like the way to go here, though I might be overlooking a bit of
Ruby metaclass arcana that would help me do this with the code as-is.

You can set the container by hand ("container :hcard") to get around
this. However, I see your point. I just made microformats
subclass-safe.

Your code should now work with the new gem. Thanks, lemme know if you
have any more issues.
