Indeed.  

Paul, I wrote this up as a possibility on the hCard brainstorming page a
little while ago here:

<http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard-brainstorming#Implied_.22FN_and_N.22_Opt
imization_.28proposal.29>

If you think this is a good idea, please go ahead and put a +1 with your
name or indicate any additional opinions you have on how a NICKNAME
shorthand would work for hCard.

Not true.  Adium for example records them for *all* conversations, even
those between just two people.

Thanks,
