"fn" is fine, so long as it's clear (from a higher-level attribute) what
is being named, as in this pseudocode:
<li><track><fn>Speak to me</fn></track></li>
<li><track><fn>Breathe</fn></track></li>
<li><track><fn>On the Run</fn></track></li>
<li><track><fn>Time</fn></track></li>
Whereas that may be OK, this:
<li><fn>Speak to me</fn></li>
<li><fn>Breathe</fn></li>
<li><fn>On the Run</fn></li>
<li><fn>Time</fn></li>
is not.
Would we use "fn", though, if hCard had been created before vCard?

Item is semantically empty, other than as a container. We might as well
say "thing".
