It doesn't seem obvious to anyone over on the microformat list, AFAICT.  If
it is that critical, why are all those to whom it is obvious making the case
on uf-discuss?

Unfortunately, this aspect is not my highest priority.  The unfortunate
thing is I'll probably just have to knowingly generate invalid HTML in some
cases because I know the browsers will handle it, as will so many others who
are using semantic markup in HTML who bump into the limitations imposed by
the specification writer.  FWIW.
