My intention is to add things to the FOAF namespace that cover most of 
the addressbooky content of Portable Contacts. If there's a nice 
modelling idiom from the vcard RDF discussions, happy to shadow that 
too. But I don't want people to have to use two vocabs for saying pretty 
basic things. If you want an exact 1:1 representation of vCard, then the 
vcard-in-rdf docs are your best bet. If you want any of the semi-random 
mischief in the FOAF spec, you should also be able to mention an address 
without needing a 2nd namespace...
