OK, so this
<span class="fn">ChattingChuck</span>
would produce a blank N, but the implied nickname rule would kick in to
produce nickname:ChattingChuck?
If so, then the remaining question is: Is this useful enough to mark up
as an hcard? There's not much you can do with the nickname without more
context except display it.

Actually, the ONLY property that is mandatory is FN (and the root class
of vcard). The N property can be extracted from an FN (when possible).
So in the example you would need:
<li class="vcard"><span class="fn nickname">ChattingChuck</span></li>
There is also an implied-nickname rule that if a FN is only one word
long it is used. So class="nickname" is redundant.
In this case since there is no explicit N, and since the FN does not
meet the implied N rule, the N value in the final output will be N:;;;;;
(blank)

I think in order to validate, you need to supply at least the 'n'
value, even if the screenname is not the actual "name":
<li class="vcard"><span class="n nickname">ChattingChuck</span></li>
On the other hand, I don't know if you *should* mark up those
fragments as hcards given the 'n' requirement... I think it's good to
be semantic to the last drop, but I think Tantek's advice on this
issue would help: how little data can substantiate hcard markup?

All,
I have a use case for displaying lists of people (readers of a blog)
which seems reasonable to mark up using XOXO and hCard. However, in at
least some of the cases the only piece of information I have about a
user is their login ID, which is an AOL/AIM 'screen name'. Is this a
reasonable minimal hCard markup for these cases?
<li class="vcard"><span class="nickname">ChattingChuck</span></li>
Two questions here: (1) is "nickname" the right way to say this and (2)
is this sufficient to be a reasonable if minimal hCard?
Thanks,
John Panzer
