There is a service which attempts at guessing the N structure.[1] It isn't perfect, but does fairly well.
[1] - http://tools.microformatic.com/help/xhtml/best-guess/

Sorry, I'm having a little difficulty reading between the lines, is this another troll along the lines of the first one?

Because,

http://tools.microformatic.com/query/xhtml/best-guess/Rt+Hon+Lord +Ashdown+KBE

is parsed as:

<span class="n">
        <span class="given-name">Rt</span>
        <span class="additional-name">Hon</span>
        <span class="additional-name">Lord</span>
        <span class="additional-name">Ashdown</span>
        <span class="family-name">KBE</span>
</span>

It's tempting to respond with a facetious: "<bong> thank you for playing, next contestant please".

But if I did that, I suspect that I'd be missing some subtle point. Are you perhaps prompting us to conjecture that a successful parse is impossible without a rich set of semantics?

Cheers,

GJ.
