As a group we are still deciding on where to go with respect to the 'ContactProperties' set we will be including. Right now we have a small subset but I think we are moving towards compatibility with other common contact formats. In my view this should be Portable Contacts which inherently provides compatibility to the vCard format (both of which include 'birthday' as an attribute).

When the scope of ContactProperties is decided, 'birthday' will become a part of this object. If that set is modelled on Portable Contacts this properties will be available along with a host of other vCard and OpenSocial properties. 

Use Case 7 should remain and must be satisfied before publication of the spec. Once we have a richer set of ContactProperties we can get in to the issue of Lunar/Gregorian calendar support for the birthday property in more detail (which I understand is the related question here).
