[uf-discuss] Problems with 'hcard-singular-properties' page

The 'wiki' page:
 <http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard-singular-properties>
makes the unsubstantiated claims:
 n
 Legal precedents afford a person a single given-name and
 family-name
 fn
 legally organizations have only a single name
These claims are, I contend, bogus.
Firstly, no jurisdiction is given - does the author refer to the laws of
the USA? Or some other authority? Certainly, uFormats do not apply in
only one jurisdiction, but in all - do we have any experts here on
Chinese law, or the laws of Japan, Korea and Papua New Guinea (to pick a
few at random)?
Certainly, under English law, both claims are false.
