I'm cross-posting this to the -new list, as it might also be relevant to the hAudio work happening on -new.

Has org on the vcard

<span class="contributor">
      <span class="vcard">
         <span class="fn org">Phish</span>
      </span>
   </span>

Is this just because Phish are a group rather than an individual?

Yes, Phish is a band, a type of organization.

What should you do if you don't have the data to
determine whether a "contact" is a group or an individual?

I think it depends on the context. If it's just a generic contact that you know nothing about, I'd say just use fn, as adding org is potentially incorrect information. But if you know it's a music act, I think it makes sense to consider even an individual performer's name to be an organization name in that context. I'd say there's a difference, for example, between Norah Jones the person, who would be <span class="fn">Norah Jones</span>, and Norah Jones the musical act, which would be <span class="fn org">Norah Jones</span>.

Peace,
Scott
