I added this to the Straw Proposals section of the Wiki, but I'm wondering if we need to create a general name microformat for use across formats. The problem with citations and author names is that we have to do:

<div class="citation">
    <span class="title">The Book of Ryan</span>
    <span class="author-name vcard">
        <span class="fn">Ryan Cannon</span>
    </span>
</div>

Adding extra markup.

I see two solutions to this:
  - Extracting N/FN properties into their own microformat
- Creating an implied optimization, such that if a vCard contains no other properties,
    it implies "fn" to all text within.

I like the second solution better.
