is a value
property as a child of a property, then it is in use.

So something like the following:
<div class="fn nickname">You can call me
<span class="value">brian
suda</span></div>

The class="value" applies to both the fn and the
nickname. If this is
not was is intended, the you would need to be more explicit.

<div class="fn">You can call me <span
class="value">brian <span
class="nickname">suda</span></span>
</div>

In this case, the class="value" only applies to
the fn. The nickname
does not have any children elements that are
class="value"

Does that make sense?
