Hi all:I assume everybody is busy, but ... it is really urgent to have at least a subset of vcard2006 stable and official asap. Maybe one can do it as Dan did (afaik) in foaf - have a stable core and extend it in a backwards compatible fashion as we go along. Make everything optional or future extensions that is unclear at this stage.
But it is really hard to explain to anybody outside the field that there are at least three incompatible ways of expressing a simple address. And it puts a break on tool development, really.
Please, don't shoot the messenger ;-) Martin Renato Iannella wrote:
