I know it doesn't but would you mark up Multiple Contributors like this

<span class="haudio">
[....]
<span class="contributor">Paul Simon</span> & <span 
class="contributor">Art Garfunkel</span>
[....]
</span>

.... I dont think most savy microformat publishers would either.

It says Earlier in the proposed change

The contributor's name SHOULD also be marked up as a valid hCard

I think this is enough to suggest the propper format or hAudio Contributor
