My name can be written as "A. J. Mabbett", but my given name isn't "A",
nor is "J" one of my names.
(On the other hand, I could legally change my name to "A. J.", or to "A
J" or "AJ", if I so chose).

In this case, I have no idea what the "A" & "B" stand for.

It has given me food for thought, thanks.
I suppose I could use:
<div class="vcard">
<span class="fn n">
A. B.
<span class="family-name">Smith</span>
</span>
</div>
