Hi, Just to make sure: I understood there is consensus that the domain of vcard:adr should be expanded from vcard:vcard to anything that can reasonably have an address, e.g. persons, organizations, or locations. Am I right? I think we discussed that before, but I cannot find a reference. BTW, the Yahoo SearchMonkey doc does not specify a domain for vcard:adr http://developer.yahoo.com/searchmonkey/smguide/vcard-details.html#vcard-adr Best Martin Toby Inkster wrote: > On Tue, 2009-06-30 at 12:55 +1000, Renato Iannella wrote: > >> 4 - We define mobileTel property but vCard calls this "cell" ? >> >> 5 - We define a mobileEmail and personalEmail and workEmail >> properties, but there is no such semantics in vCard? >> >> 6 - I am not clear on the unlabeledAdr, unlabeledEmail, and >> unlabeledTel properties we define?
