Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this example actually
one for using
<cite>, as in "come and hear <cite>Ben
Barren</cite> speak about…"?* I
can't see why you would want to use your span construct
over this; it
looks a lot messier and, from a pure HTML perspective,
isn't as
semantic.

*) Serious question. I could be completely off on this.

Could one use <cite class="vcard fn">Ben
Barren</cite> instead?  That
would fit HTML semantics more closely.

The fn has to be inside the vcard, but
<cite class="vcard"><span
class="fn">Ben
Barren</span></cite> would be ok.
