I’m sorry but I misunderstood/misread the microdata vcard spec (I
didn’t realise that n was a nested item), and my example is wrong. It
should be longer not shorter :)

<span itemscope itemtype="http://microformats.org/profile/hcard">
       <span itemprop=fn>
               <span itemprop="n" itemscope>
                       <span itemprop="given-name">George</span>
                       <span itemprop="family-name">Washington</span>
               </span>
       </span>
</span>

So for a non-Western name one extra wrapper element, but for a name
with n optimisation three extra wrapper elements.

peace - oli
