The term in the vCard spec isn't 'middle name' but 'additional name';
who knows if that's any clearer...

Is there software that Dutch people commonly use to
manage their contacts? Does it read/write vCard format?
Does it exploit anything beyond
the fullname field? After all, this isn't a philosophical
excercise; it's software engineering.

I didn't put the "van" prefix in any of the n sub-fields.
Is there one that it belongs in? Does this name get
alphabetized under 'v' or under 'M' in the phonebook?
