Prosody also historically preserved everything (it basically treated the vcard as an XML blob). However now we have moved to vcard4, our compatibility code can obviously only convert fields it knows and understands - therefore any custom fields would also get discarded. However I also see that there is a defined way to handle unknown fields in conversion ( https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6351#section-6 ), so it's not impossible to preserve them. That said, our vcard4 implementation largely handles the submitted vcard as an XML blob also - putting stuff into a custom namespace is totally possible.
