Many more errors in the examples. The prefix element's end tag is invalid. Fixing that makes the XML valid. Running a Relax NG validator on that brings up many errors. <additional/> required before <prefix/> in <n/> As meaningful as the following is, "love" is not a valid organization type. <type/> can only contain "work" or "home". <org> <parameters><type>love</type></parameters> <text>Juliet</text> </org> Same for the <type/> in <adr/>. <pobox/> and <ext/> are required before <street/> <region/> and <code/> are required before <country/> <class/> is no longer allowed. Here's the example fixed: <vcard xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:vcard-4.0"> <fn><text>Romeo Montague</text></fn> <n> <surname><text>Montague</text></surname> <given><text>Romeo</text></given> <additional/> <prefix><text>Sir</text></prefix> <suffix/> </n> <bday><date>--0203</date></bday> <anniversary> <date-time>15000808T1430-0500</date-time> </anniversary> <gender><text>male</text></gender> <org> <parameters><type>work</type></parameters> <text>Juliet</text> </org> <adr> <parameters><type>home</type></parameters> <pobox/> <ext/> <street><text>123 Capulet Way</text></street> <locality><text>Verona</text></locality> <region/> <code/> <country><text>Italy</text></country> </adr> <email> <parameters><type>work</type></parameters> <text>ro...@montague.lit</text> </email> </vcard> -- Now some comments. This was the first time I saw the vcard4 XML schema. I was surprised at how it requires elements (even if they are empty), and requires they be in a specific order. Just for amusement, I proceeded to run the validator on the two largest examples within the vcardxml draft. As I half expected, they failed. The schema seemed long enough that I gave up on figuring out how compatible this is with the existing vcard-temp. It looks like mapping vCard4, vcard-temp, User Avatar, etc to a single backend is going to be much more work than I had anticipated. -- Waqas Hussain
