[uf-new] PROPOSAL: Replace hAudio FN with TITLE

[Walter Logeman]

The question concerning FN & TITLE (and FN as well) has an underlying
more general question.

Are Microformats broken when terms are repeated across different formats?

How is this answered?  By a rule?  Is there one?  Should there be one?

And what is (would be) the reasoning behind such a rule? Here is what
I have gathered from the discussion:

The main reason to allow repeating terms is proximity to natural use
of language, human friendly - that is a Microformat principle.

The main reason for not repeating terms is that it breaks
Microformats. Machine friendly.

These are both compelling principles.  As I understand it that
guidelines would favour the people first approach.

However the question here is not one of priorities, it is more that
Microformats would not work at all then they would not be people 
friendly either!

What does "work" mean?  What does "broken" mean?  At present my
vCards seems to work for Outlook, they do not work as well in "Tail
Export" the Firefox add-on.

In either approach regarding the repetition (or not) of terms, the
guidelines for developing parsers need to make it clear how the format
should be parsed.  Are there such guidelines?  If there are such
guidelines or principles (even if they a currently contravened) they 
would read either:

Any term used in Microformats is unique and can be correctly rendered
into a specific use.  For example:  The term "title" always refers to
the job title of a person.

OR

Terms used in Microformats can be correctly rendered into a specific
use by reference to the class they are nested in.  For example:  The
term "title" refers to the job title of a person in vCard, and to the
audio recording title in hAudio.

Does my summary make sense?
