Draft FPWD for contacts manager API

I've prepared a draft FPWD for the contacts manager API. Here are the 
changes I had to make:

1. changed name from contacts API to contacts manager API since the 
former short name is already in use in the Device APIs working group. 
The new name "Contacts Manager API" better reflects the purpose of the 
SysApps contacts API.

2. noted that future versions of this spec are expected to align the 
data model with the contacts API being defined by the Device APIs 
working group as noted in:

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-sysapps/2013Mar/0022.html

3. added the distinct paragraph to the status of this document as 
required by pub rules

> This document defines a System Level API to manage the user's contacts 
> that are stored in the system's address book. Future versions of this 
> specification are expected to align the contact data model with 
> thecontacts API <http://www.w3.org/TR/contacts-api>being defined by 
> the Device APIs Working Group.

4. added a <dd> explanation to section 6.1 to pass the html5 validator

> |oncontactschange|of typeEventHandler
>     May be used to set an event handler to be called when contacts are
>     added, deleted or changed in some way. 

The draft can be found at:

http://www.w3.org/2012/sysapps/drafts/contacts-manager-api/

If this is satisfactory, I will proceed to ask the W3C webmaster to 
publish the spec as a FPWD, once we have Director's approval as is 
required for first public working drafts. Otherwise, please let me know 
what non-normative changes are needed.
