vCard 3.0 Suggestion



Title: Message
Guys,
 
I don't know who I should write concerning my suggestion for the vCard 3.0 specification, so I got your e-mail addresses from the bottom of the RFC2425 document.
 
My suggestion is to do with the EMAIL type.  As you will appreciate, many people now have multiple Internet e-mail addresses, such as one for work, one for personal and so on.  The vCard 2.1 and 3.0 specifications do not allow this to be specified.  As an example (taken as my own version of an extension to the 2.1 EMAIL type)...
 
EMAIL;INTERNET;WORK:john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
EMAIL;INTERNET;HOME:john@xxxxxxxxxxx
 
or...
 
EMAIL;INTERNET;WORK;HOME:john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx;john@xxxxxxxxxxx
 
Our company develops Human Resources and staff rostering software and we are preparing to design our next major release and are currently investigating the use of vCard and vCalendar as our native data formats for some of our data, as we are developing desktop, PDA and cellular telephone software modules and it seems that native support for vCard and vCalendar might the best approach from the point of view of sharing information.
 
If I have directed my suggestion to the wrong place, please let me know.
 
Kind regards,
