fn is actually required, so you shouldn't leave it blank

I think this (how to mark up organizations in hcard) is unfortunately  
still an open issue.

Personally, I would combine the above two lines into:

  <a class="url fn org" href="http://www.microsoft.com">Microsoft  
Corp</a>

What do others think about that?
