The implied value of N when FN and ORG have the same value is empty.   
The implied value of N when no N is present is also empty.  So you're  
not losing anything on N by not doing FN and ORG in the same element.   
You may be losing some specific functionality in tools that don't know  
what to do with a card describing an organization unit rather than an  
organization (relatively uncommon), but I wouldn't expect general  
problems.
