The point is clear semantics.  There's no way of knowing with  
class="item fn" that the fn is a subproperty of the item.  Merging  
properties and subproperties into the same element is not considered  
valid in any microformat for this reason.  If you want to change  
that, please raise the issue in a thread outside the hAudio  
discussion, as it would be a major change affecting every single  
microformat.
