[uf-discuss] Chris Messina's hcard

[Colin D. Devroe]

I was told you needed to use fn, and n when you wanted to split the  
name up into its various parts.  Here is the markup for my hCard, in  
which I wanted my middle initial.  And the parsers handle it just fine.

<div class="vcard">
		<p><img class="photo" src="http://cdevroe.com/media/images/ 
cdevroe.jpg" alt="photo" /></p>
		<div class="n fn">
<a class="url" href="http://cdevroe.com/"><span class="given- 
name">Colin</span> <span class="additional-name">D.</span> <span  
class="family-name">Devroe</span></a>
</div>
		<p><a class="email pref"  
href="mailto:cdevroe at theubergeeks.net">cdevroe at theubergeeks.net</a></p>
	 	<div class="adr">
	  		<p><span class="street-address">P.O. Box 61</span></p>
	 		<p><span class="locality">Clifford</span>, <span  
class="region">Pa</span> <span class="postal-code">18413</span></p>
	 	</div>
	 	<div class="tel">(570) 222-6546</div>
	</div>
