Brian, I think your example actually proves Roger's point.
The .values's only apply to FN, not to N. I'm having trouble
imagining a situation where you'd use the value-excerption
on a
structured element. It only seems to make sense on elements
that only
take a simple value.
If you'll think of the structure of a microformat as a tree,
it's
only the leaves that take value excerpting. This could be a
bit
challenging, because there are elements in hCard that can be
either a
leaf or have children (like AGENT and ATTENDEE). I'm sure we
can
figure out how to deal with these, though.

If you can develop specific cases, I'll add them to our test
suite.
