The problem for my work is I'm taking artist names out of musicbrainz.
Musicbrainz does differentiate between artists singular and groups but the
name field is a single string. So there's no differentiation between:

Madonna Louise Ciccone Ritchie

Madonna Ciccone

Madonna 

Plastic Bertram

So I can use:

<span class="fn nickname">Madonna Louise Ciccone Ritchie</span>

And treat all artist names as nicknames

or

<span class="fn org">Madonna Louise Ciccone Ritchie</span>

And treat all artists as organisations

Both of which seem wrong

It's a commonish problem I've found with ufs. If you're handcrafting html
they can be made to work fine - if you're generating pages dynamically from
a db it gets trickier
