--- we have already defined the semantics of TITLE[1], and those are
NOT the same semantics as presented here. FN or SUMMARY

FN: The name of the object.
SUMMARY: A short summary or subject for the object.

Are more inline with what is described.

I personally feel, the less properties to remember the cognitive load
any publisher needs. I might be wrong, but when you begin to mix
microformats it (in my opinion) is easier to remember FN for the name
of the object rather than "XYZ" for this "ABC" for that "MNO" for this
one .... less is more.

--- currently both hCard and hCalendar have CATEGORIES which do NOT
have to be tags. (it is recommended and the parsing changes based on
this) You could simply do:
<span class="category">rock</span>

If we introduce genre, i personally don't see how that is different
than category. Microformats are ment to be building blocks, not
boiling the ocean to solving every niche aspect of an ontology. I
think in a broad sense genres and categories are the same.
