How does that square with the principle of making things easier for
publishers? "title" (or "movie-title" or "job-title", or whatever) is
surely easier for publisher to remember, and more obvious when updating
code,  than the awful "FN"!

How is "FN" supported, in preference to "title " or "*-title" by the
evidence gathered?

Tagging serves a particular purpose. Not every label on the web is
published as a tag

Where is the evidence supporting your position? In how many of the sites
cited as evidence, is the genre currently presented as a link to a tag
name-space, or some other page of that ilk?

The liking some microformat activists tagging does not mandate the sue
of tags for all labels; and should not be allowed to become a
requirement for publishers to change their current behaviour in that
regard

It quite probably does, though that horse has, perhaps, already bolted.
