Then why invent something new, as opposed to coming to the IETF and asking 
for vCard to be revised? Is there something so fundamentally flawed about

Note this is not a criticism of what has been done, I am trying to get a 
feel for why different contact formats have arisen with the goal of 
figuring out whether there is a way to bring things back together.
