Are the whole elements missing, or only the tags? I have to ask, because so
many people wrongly use the word "tag" when they mean "element".

I don't think you've shown us the template rules that match the PN, FN, SN,
or TG elements. If there aren't any, then the text content of the element
will be output without any surrounding tags.
