/ Ronan Waide <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> was heard to say:

I know of no standard XML vocabulary for address books. I note that as
long as the schema you choose accurately and completely identifies the
components of the BBDB, converting to other XML vocabularies is fairly
well defined (using tools like XSLT).
And even though you don't want something that's "been rolled by this
one guy", here's the, um, one this guy rolled :-)
