[uf-discuss] Extracting N from hCard (was: Citation Straw Proposal II)

[Ryan Cannon]

I added this to the Straw Proposals section of the Wiki, but I'm  
wondering if we need to create a general name microformat for use  
across formats. The problem with citations and author names is that  
we have to do:

<div class="citation">
     <span class="title">The Book of Ryan</span>
     <span class="author-name vcard">
         <span class="fn">Ryan Cannon</span>
     </span>
</div>

Adding extra markup.

I see two solutions to this:
   - Extracting N/FN properties into their own microformat
   - Creating an implied optimization, such that if a vCard contains  
no other properties,
     it implies "fn" to all text within.

I like the second solution better.
