The problem with this is that it throws out the advantages that unique root class names give us, namely, context. If we flatten the hierarchy, we greatly constrain our vocabulary, which we have enough trouble managing, as is.
I don't see the difference as being between a flat vs. hierarchical structure, but rather between a hierarchy defined in the hcard spec and a hierarchy defined by the XHTML document itself. No one is suggesting "vcard" shouldn't be the container of "fn", but some are suggesting that this should be assumed by parsers even when not explicit in the structure of the XHTML. So the FAQ answer should probably explain why we want to take advantage of the existing hierarchy of the XHTML, e.g. because XHTML parsers already exist to read this content as a hierarchy.
