Since you're answering a "copy" of my post, and not the original, I'll
remind you that I went on to say:
Tails gives:
Name: The Rt Hon Tony Blair MP
Full Name: Tony Blair
Given Name: %
Family Name: %
Additional Name: %
Honorific Prefix: The Rt Hon
Honorific Suffix: MP
Nickname: %
Operator gives:
fn=Tony Blair
object n {
object honorific-prefix {
0=The Rt Hon
}
object honorific-suffix {
0=MP
}
and exports:
BEGIN:VCARD
N;CHARSET=UTF-8:;;;The Rt Hon;MP
FN;CHARSET=UTF-8:Tony Blair
Which is right, and is the mark-up valid? It's not possible to mark up
given- and family- names, as this is template generated, and the
granularity cannot be guaranteed.

1) Seems harmful, as data is lost.
2) is, as you say incorrect; but also impossible in the case concerned.
