Are embedded subobjects something like
{{#subobject: objname | objpropname= {{#subobject: subobjname | 
subobjpropname=x}}
}}
I am mystified by the {{{given}}}...{{{family}}} parameter - how is it 
used/referenced? More than one? Positional?
I don't think subobject is technically accurate, nor object for that matter, as 
these technically connote behavior. 
How about "vector"?

  Sorry for the late response.  

  Would it be reasonable to have the syntax be something like:

  {{#subobject:name
  | given=Jonathan
  | family=Lang
  | middle=LeRoy
  | surname=Mr.
  | {{{given}}} {{{middle}}} {{{family}}} 
  }}

  {{#subobject:name
  | given=Ranma
  | family=Saotome
  | {{{family}}} {{{given}}}
  }}

  This way, the subobject's formatting could be determined on a case-by-case 
basis, and in a manner that people are used to (i.e., value on the left; 
display on the right).  In effect, the unnamed entry is assumed to contain an 
"inline template" for display purposes.  This saves you the trouble of writing 
a new template every time you want to format a subobject differently.

  If no inline template is given, there should be a default inline template on 
the property page; possibly use the property page itself as the default 
template, and rely on the usual tricks used by template pages to define text 
that should only be available when viewing the property page and text that 
should only be available when making use of it as a template.

  BTW: "subobject" is technically accurate, but needlessly long.  I'd recommend 
going with "object" instead.  Granted, this is a nitpick; but there you are.
