For what its worth I think you may be right for example "fn" was only used in hcard this meant just the name of a person or organization, great stuff powerful and clearly defined. hAudio and hreview re-use "fn" to mean other things too, haudio it means, a title of a playlist, album, or track and the name of a contributor or organization (makes your head spin trying to explain that to people), in hreview it is the name of the thing that is under review and the name of the reviewer, kind of devalues the semantics of "fn" don't you think? instead of being something specific its turned into something more general. So yes in light of the above maybe we shouldn't re-use class names so willingly, most of the community that spend a lot of time working these things out, the only time we should is if what we are trying to describe has the exact same meaning, only then would it make sense to re-use.
