 According to the [http://microformats.org/wiki/h-entry microformats.org
 wiki]
 > h-entry is often used with content intended to be syndicated, e.g. blog
 posts.

 We are displaying the `hentry` for all CPT's. This would only be needed
 for blogs.

 There are two possible solutions.
 - One solution would be to only display the class when it is a post.

 {{{
 if ( post == get_post_type() ) {
         // hentry for hAtom compliance
         $classes[] = 'hentry';
 }
 }}}

 - The second would be to remove it completely as I don't think WordPress
 should choose what structured data markup formats to use as there are a
 number of different structured data markup formats. Google recommends
 microdata at the moment. (I understand it is not so easy to remove
 something as a number of themes depend on it. I also know that themes can
 easily remove the class.)
