Simon,

I think the issue here is if registries have the data store in a way that
they can fill out a vCard structure. The EPP structure is likely the most
common for this community. Perhaps we should see if the EPP structure maps
into vCard. Of course, none of this gets us away from needing a flat
structure. Can vCard accommodate that?
