Hi,

Just documenting some thoughts on improving the Contacts.create(...)
method [1] to allow for additional contact attributes to be specified at
object creation.

The method could be overloaded as follows:

interface Contacts {
    Contact   create (in DOMString name);
    Contact   create (in ContactProperties options);
    // ... Other methods
};

Or it could be extended with optional additional contact attributes as
follows:

interface Contacts {
    Contact   create (in DOMString name, in optional ContactProperties
options);
    // ... other methods
};

Any feedback on the best approach, or whether the current simple
create(...) method [1] is sufficient is welcome :-)

Kind Regards,

Richard
