[uf-discuss] hCard names - n vs. fn

[Andy Mabbett]

I'm not clear on the relationship between "n" and "fn " in hCard. I have
some markup:

        <TD class="n">
          <SPAN class="honorific-prefix">The Rt Hon</SPAN>&nbsp;
          &nbsp;
          <SPAN class="fn">Tony Blair</SPAN>
          &nbsp;
          <SPAN class="honorific-suffix">MP</SPAN>
        </TD>


Tails gives:

        Name: The Rt Hon Tony Blair MP
        Full Name: Tony Blair
        Given Name: %
        Family Name: %
        Additional Name: %
        Honorific Prefix: The Rt Hon
        Honorific Suffix: MP
        Nickname: %

Operator gives:

        fn=Tony Blair
        object n {
          object honorific-prefix {
                0=The Rt Hon
          }
          object honorific-suffix {
                0=MP
          }

and exports:

        BEGIN:VCARD

        N;CHARSET=UTF-8:;;;The Rt Hon;MP

        FN;CHARSET=UTF-8:Tony Blair


Which is right, and is the mark-up valid? It's not possible to mark up
given- and family- names, as this is template generated, and the
granularity cannot be guaranteed.
