That's right. The reason you can't collapse a 'vcard' class name and
its 'fn' class name is that it makes putting a 'vcard' class name
inside another one becomes ambiguous.
To answer Pieter's question, in hcard, nested hcards are possible.
The standard use case would be the AGENT property of VCARD [http://
microformats.org/wiki/hcard-examples#3.5.4_AGENT_Type_Definition].
For (a somewhat realistic) example...
<div class="vcard">
<span class="fn">Tantek Çelik</span>
<span class="agent vcard">
<!-- the order is actually irrelevant here class="vcard
agent" is synonymous -->
<span class="fn">Ryan King</span>
</span>
</div>
The AGENT property of vcard can be either:
1. another vcard (default)
2. text
3. URI
So, we have the same options in hcard.
