Kudos to you for continuing to poke at the problem and fumble around.

Good luck. Sorry, I don't have answers to your questions below.

(In case you're wondering: adding Authority and Confidence tags; adding date/time/period fields to any given tag; and adding an in-line cryptographic hash authenticating the whole shebang.) And if vCard itself can't be upgraded for this, I can base a new, vCard-derived format on all of the above.
