I would like to just add that strategically, vCard and iCal are
intimately related.  Endeavors in this area are necessarily going to
reference each other.  As soon as you begin implementing any PIM
features of relative value, it becomes very clear.  Distributing
Calendars needs a way to associate an owner with a calendar, especially
the kind that represent your actual schedule, as opposed to the calendar
for the little league team you coach on the weekends.  Likewise, as soon
as you begin distributing your contact information, the next piece you
want to share is your schedule.  Both standards need to have a way to
associate back and forth.  A standard or protocol that mentions one but
not the other, is IMHO - incomplete, and unfinished.

Nice idea but you may want to consider a cardsify initiative to go along
with it. vCard leaves a lot to be desired.:-)
