You'd think that 95% of everyone's contacts would have the first 10 fields
identical - you could take a survey and decide an ordering of WORK/HOME
address, phone, email and cell phone. Then you could vary from there.
Astrological sign, whatever.

It seems bizarre to me, with Americans spending two hours a day on average
dealing with email, that there is not more of a standard happening here. It
is in everyone's best interest that the customer's data is not hostage to a
proprietary system that crashes.

Maybe Paul and Microsoft should call a conference, let everyone talk, and
SET THE STANDARDS for at least the first 10 fields.
