NOTES

What about representing vCard objects in RDF/XML?

It's not going to happen here.

I might write a pair of vcard-rdfxml <-> vcard-xml filters in the future. If you're chomping at the bit to do this yourself, please, go nuts.

TO DO

  • Better (proper) support for properties that span multiple lines. See also:

     section 5.8.1.  Line delimiting and folding (RFC 2425)
     section 2.6     Line Delimiting and Folding (RFC 2426)

    This is planned for version 0.06

  • Wrap lines at 75 chars for media thingies.

    This is planned for version 0.06

  • Better checks to prevent empty elements from being include in final output.

  • Add support for LABEL property

  • Add support for X-CUSTOM properties. These are not actually defined in the vcard-xml DTD :-(

  • Add support for pronounciation attribute extension
