Re: [Aperture-devel] vCard Meeting 7/18 - 2 ET?

Actually, I have a comment, which may well have bearing on the other 
vcard work.

... I think is poorly defined. It breaks even for simple Western names 
like "J. Edgar Hoover." I'd call "J. Edgar" the given name.

Assuming a "first" name has any fundamental meaning is problematic, 
particularly in cultures where the first name is in fact the family 
name ;-)

Also, I think the additional names in the examples above are in fact 
ordered.
