Um, I think we're saying the same thing. By "parallel" I meant that we 
shouldn't hold up vCard for anything. I was responding to criticism by 
Benjamin that my complaining about RDF was somehow getting in the way of 
RDF vCard development. I think that our uses of "parallel" and 
"decoupled" are synonymous.

Well, if I could get something in RDF 2.0 that would make it easier for 
values to be single or ordered, that would solve a whole lot of 
problems. This problem is certainly present in vCard RDF development, 
but I haven't advanced any solution for RDF 2.0

You're right---the other problem we're having in vCard (literals in 
lists) is purely an RDF/XML serialization problem.
