No - not at the expense of making the conversion between XML and native vCard much harder to implement (with the likelihood of significantly impacting interoperability). The current format trivially maps the semantics of the vCard data model to XML element structure. There is no special casing of any property or value type, so writing a converter is easy. Also, this is more extensible because any new type of property extension on the vCard side can immediately be converted to XML. -- Cyrus Daboo
