I18N-ISSUE-70: Support multiple family names [Contacts API] http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/70 Raised by: Koji Ishii On product: Contacts API Section 4.4 ContactName http://dev.w3.org/2009/dap/contacts/#idl-def-ContactName WG Approved: Yes In a number of cultures, multiple family names can appear in an individual's name. See, for example [1]. Because there is only one familyName field, it is unclear how to support multiple family names. For example, in some cultures, the family name appears in the middle of the name string: the well-known writer "Gabriel García Márquez" has two familial names--"García" and "Márquez". The former name is considered his surname. Please provide guidance on handling multiple family names. [1] http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-personal-names
