Comment (by chriswaker00):

 It seems like you're encountering an issue with an option that, when
 enabled, is rewriting valid XHTML markup and breaking the structure of
 hcard and hreview elements. Specifically, it's causing the markup for the
 reviewer's name (hcard) inside a review (hreview) to be rearranged
 incorrectly.

 The original markup looks like this:

 ```html
 <span class="reviewer vcard"><span class="fn">Conor</span></span>
 ```

 But when the option is enabled, it changes to:

 ```html
 <span class="reviewer vcard"></span><span class="fn">Conor</span>
 ```

 This behavior is problematic because it disrupts valid markup, causing
 unintended consequences. While there may be an option to turn off this
 feature, it's still an issue that such rewriting occurs in the first
 place.
