[rdfweb-dev] Proposal: Names in FoaF

[Christopher Abiad]

Forgive me if this is a hugely ignorant comment, but
hasn't the problem of solving how to represent names
in a standard way already been solved?

It strikes me that Palm Address Book, Ximian
Evolution, and many others seem to handle name entry
in a clean, standardized way.  Why is the vCard spec's
definition of a name not suitable for FOAF?
