Clearly I did (that'll teach me not to skip early parts of a thread),
thanks Bruce...

Ok, I see from
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2426#section-3.1.2
it's a structured value, which it appears Norm reflected:

Name
    given-name
    family-name
    additional-name

How so?

Assuming the cardinality was restricted to 1, it wouldn't be possible
to represent all vCards using this vocab since RFC2426 says: "Each
component can have multiple values."

Name
    given-name

    additional-name
    additional-name

I don't see why not, the Name node is acting as a quasi-container.

This seems unnecessary, multiple values are possible without there
being a container or collection.

I'd be tempted to make vCard/RDF follow vCard closely and use other
vocabs/structures where the modelling doesn't seem right.

But anyhow I'd better duck out - I still can't face reading the dozens
of earlier posts...

Cheers,
