This goes to that question of complexity that I and Harry were
mentioning. I strongly support Norm's original decision that the name
properties (among them not firstName, BTW) ought to be literal
properties restricted to a maximum cardinality of 1.
E.g.:
<v:VCard rdf:about="http://ex.net/1">
<v:fn>J. Edgar Hoover</v:fn>
<v:sort-string>Hoover, J. Edgar</v:sort-string>
<v:n rdf:parseType="Resource">
<v:given-name>J. Edgar</v:given-name>
<v:family-name>Hoover</v:family-name>
</v:n>
</v:VCard>
I think treating personal name parts as resources in a collection is
gratuitous complexity.
