Re: [vwrap] Removing first name / last name assumptions?

[Dzonatas Sol <[e-mail]>]

It's a valid XML snipplet, I just didn't include the full wrap of LLSD 
or JSON as you have. You still need to keep the space between the tags, 
or else:

"<first>simon</first><last>le bon</last>"

Would look like this without tags:

"simonle bon"

Which is not desired, so it would need to be:

"<first>simon</first> <last>le bon</last>"

Where there is a space between "</first>" and "<last>" tags.

Better example, if someone simply dropped the tags on this input:

{ "name": "<first>Barak</first> Hussein <last>Le Obama</last>" }

They would get this:

{ "name": "Barak Hussein Le Obama" }

If they only pulled the text from the tags from the input, they would get:

{ "first": "Barak", "last": "Le Obama" }

This way the initial input "name" satisfies both desires for a single 
string name and for first/last significance names. I kept "Le Obama" 
above as an example with a last name with a space in it.

This could further be applied internationally where people have 
different order for family names, so for Mr. Yao (basketball player):

{ "name": "<last>Yao</last> <first>Ming</first>" }

And when you drop the tags you get the names in the right order:

{ "name": "Yao Ming" }
