Re: CfC: publish FPWD of Contacts API; deadline Feb 8

Hi,

One comment for Contacts API below:

I would like to suggest an optional attribute of contactProperties for private extensions, which could be applied to arbitrary purposes.

The vCard specification allows us to define private extensions[1], which are widely applied to various purposes[2]. For example, as one of its use cases, extensions X-PHONETIC-FIRST-NAME and X-PHONETIC-LAST-NAME, which indicate furigana (alternative spelling for kanji usually written in katakana or hiragana)[3], are essential for Japanese people. In such a case, though kanji names are shown in contacts list, Japanese usually use furigana for search query, sorting order, etc.

Best regards,
Tomoyuki
