[VCARDDAV] updating vCard 3.0 to vCard 4.0

["Javier Godoy" <[e-mail]>]

¿Will be there a WG draft about updating from vCard 3.0 to vCard 4.0?

I'm concerned that, after the publication of vcardrev, systems supporting
vCard 4.0 would have to interoperate with systems supporting vCard 3.0-only. .

Besides, since RFC 2425 and RFC 2426 will be obsolete, the requirement of
"supporting both vCard 3.0 and vCard 4.0" will imply references to the
obsolete and current standards, on an equal footing. Instead, I would like to
require "mapping from vCard 3.0 to vCard 4.0", and have such mapping reviewed
by the same people who participated in the discussion about vcardrev.

Interoperability with older systems may also require exporting vCard 4.0
instances as vCard 3.0. Later, the downgraded instance might be converted back
to vCard 4.0. I would like to provide a mechanism for preserving as much
information as possible during this mapping.

I think the community would benefit and feel more confident if some
broadly-discussed guidelines are provided, instead of asking each implementor
to reinvent the wheel.

If this is not in the schedule, and if you think it might be usefeul, I would
like to take this responsability.


Best Regards
