Being considered: | |||
* 'key' - Mozilla can be an industry leader here by including public keys in address books by default so communication application can start using and depending on them. | |||
Some common problems: | |||
* '''NU''' - Not commonly used in practice, either in address books or in publishing on the web. Reconsider such properties if usage changes. | |||
* '''ER''' - Error prone whenever entered/published. Such properties are toast. Not getting added. | |||
* '''AB''' - Absent from typical device address books (if you've seen a specific device with such fields in the address book, please list it here as a nested list item, preferably with screenshot of the UI). Reconsider such properties if added to address book UIs, note such research/data accordingly in [[#Considered_changes]] section below. | |||
E.g. properties left out from vCard4/hCard(2), why the above is a subset of vCard4/hCard(2). Specific deliberately omitted property notes: | |||
* 'logo' - NU, 'photo' is used instead | |||
* 'post-office-box' - NU, AB | |||
* 'extended-address' - ER. in practice such data typically ends up in a long 'street-address'. | |||
* 'organization-name' and 'organization-unit' are rarely separately specified, users/publishers preferring to use the simple flat 'org' property instead. | |||
* 'sort-string' / 'sort-as'. per suggestion from Jonas, the Japanese iPhone has a field for "phonetic last name" which can be used for sorting. The existing vCard3 sort-string property or vCard4 sort-as (sub)property could be used to capture this if the only intended use is sorting. | * 'sort-string' / 'sort-as'. per suggestion from Jonas, the Japanese iPhone has a field for "phonetic last name" which can be used for sorting.

* vCard4 | Added for B2G db (but not in any known existing device address books): | ||
* ContactAddress 'geo' property components 'latitude', 'longitude' and additional 'altitude' from GeoLocation API | |||
* Contact 'gender' property components 'sex', 'gender-identity' (from vCard4/hCard2 in particular) | |||
