RE: Name relationships in vCard 3.0

["Germán M. Rivera" <rivera@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jeff,

As you can see in the RFC, this is the FN type purpose:

"To specify the formatted text corresponding to the name of the object
the vCard represents"

and this is the N type purpose:

"To specify the components of the name of the object the vCard
represents"

Of course, it is assumed that the name of the object (a person) is
unique, so these two types should describe the same content.

Hope this helps,
Germán
