Really! that seems bad is it?, it makes little sense to re-use other
parts like "fn" eg:

<head profile="http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard-profile
http://microformats.org/wiki/haudio#XMDP_Profile">

unless their context is exact "fn" in the above case would be bound to a
hcard definition not an audio definition which when you think about it
means something else...?


Thanks
