Now there's a challenge.

<span class="vcard">
  <span class="fn n">
    <span class="given-name">Bobby</span>
    <a href="#smith" class="include"></a>
  </span>
  <a href="#star-quarter" class="include"></a>
</span>
and
<span class="vcard">
  <span class="fn n">
    <span class="given-name">Billy</span>
    <a href="#smith" class="include"></a>
  </span>
  <a href="#star-fullback" class="include"></a>
</span>
are on the same football team and on Sunday they're
playing against the Falcons, whose coach is
<span class="vcard">
  <span class="fn n">
    <span class="given-name">Ron</span>
	<span class="family-name" id="smith">Smith</span>
</span>.
Ron Smith is Bobby and Billy's father.
The brothers are also the
<span class="role" id="star-quarter">star quarterback</span>
and <span class="role" id="star-fullback">star fullback</span>
at Pittsfield High."

This has been tested with Operator, and others should have no trouble either.

Other information could have been marked up, but that's been left as
an exercise should you wish to take things further.
