Hello,
  Many people today defines themselves by their social networking ID, 
nothing else: no tel, no email, no im, but facebook, twitter, linkedin, 
plaxo, or <choose yours>

URL can be used for providing the social networking id. However, I'm not 
sure it is clear in the current draft for an implementor to use URL for 
social networking ids. We don't want everybody starting to use vendor 
name space or extensions for this.

Morever, it could need to have some text info attached to it, specifying 
the end-user string known for the social networking info. Or we could 
rely on the UI to read the content of the URL and then show a user 
friendly string to describe the URL to the end-user. For example, the UI 
sees facebook.com in the URL, then shows "Facebook" to the user. I'm for 
the latter.

So my proposed change is just to add social networking wording and 
examples to URL prop.

    Purpose:  To specify a uniform resource locator associated with the
       object that the vCard refers to.

NEW:
    Purpose:  To specify a uniform resource locator associated with the
       object that the vCard refers to. Examples for individuals can be 
personal web sites, blogs or social networking site identifiers.
