The hAudio spec says of the contributor property:

        <http://microformats.org/wiki/haudio#Contributor>

        The contents of the element SHOULD include a valid hCard
        Microformat

which suggests that :

        <span class="contributor">
          <span class="vcard">
            [...]
          </span>
        </span>

is required; whereas:

        <span class="contributor vcard">
         [...]
        </span>

or
        <span class="contributor fn">
         [...]
        </span>

should be acceptable; and will parse as intended.


I think the above wording should be changed to:

        The contributor's name SHOULD also be marked up as a valid hCard
        Microformat


Also, the "SHOULD" in that clause renders the subsequent:

        The contents of the element MAY be specified in plain-text.

redundant.
