You mean, an official "ITEMLABEL" property (note that LABEL is taken in
vCard) in a future vCard RFC? While that would be useful, I wouldn't
hold my breath while waiting for it ;-)

Using a parameter instead of a property has the problem of not being
able to store arbitrary text. The MIME DIR spec simply doesn't support
it at the moment.

See the earlier mail thread referenced by Milan about this - as I said
there, my conclusion was that the limitations probably are acceptable
for the kind of values entered by users, but I am open for other
suggestions.
