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.

I've seen this explanation a few times, and I've never personally found the separation of vcard and fn to be a problem, but I don't understand the explanation.

An illustration, from earlier in this thread:

I don't think you understood my question. You've repeated the answer I said I don't understand. I still don't understand it.

<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>

Which hcard does the 'agent' belong to?

If we were determining belonging with a nearest-parent algorithm that started with self,

We're *not* using nearest-parent here. We're parsing top down.
