I agree. As a German speaker I can see some use for "number" and "formality", but it seems application developers did just fine without them in VCARD. Also, the risk is high that it would just introduce a bias for both English and German and still not being adequate for other languages.

Agreed.

The next RFC draft will reflect these decisions. Thanks to all of you for your input.
