Re: Question regarding creator stamping vCard's

["Frank Dawson" <fdawson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jensen:

Great question. The vCalendar and the iCalendar have the PRODID property to
identify the product identifier for the application that created the
object. I think that it makes sense to add this to the vCard specification
too.

The PRODID was defined as follows in the iCalendar draft:

Product Identifier

This property is identified by the property name PRODID. This property
specifies the identifier for the product that created the iCalendar Object.
The vendor of the implementation should assure that this is a globally
unique identifier; using some technique such as an ISO 9070 FPI value. This
calendar property must be specified in the iCalendar Object but can only
appear once.

The property is defined by the following notation:

prodid	= "prodid" ":" pidvalue CRLF
pidvalue	= (text / url)
;Any text that describes the product and version
;and that is generally assured of being unique.>

The following is an example of this property:

PRODID:-//ABC Corporation//NONSGML My Product//EN

The default data type for this property is TEXT. 

What do other think?
