[uf-discuss] Problems with 'hcard-singular-properties' page

[Andy Mabbett]

The 'wiki' page:

        <http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard-singular-properties>

makes the unsubstantiated claims:

        n

        Legal precedents afford a person a single given-name and
        family-name

        fn

        legally organizations have only a single name


These claims are, I contend, bogus.

Firstly, no jurisdiction is given - does the author refer to the laws of
the USA? Or some other authority? Certainly, uFormats do not apply in
only one jurisdiction, but in all - do we have any experts here on
Chinese law, or the laws of Japan, Korea and Papua New Guinea (to pick a
few at random)?

Certainly, under English law, both claims are false.
