Many clients (Psi, Gaim etc.) treat birthday field as a text field. So it's
not easy to parse the date, entered by user.
Is that not then a bug in the client, for failing to validate that the string
which was entered is valid according to the JEP? Hardly a good reason for
adding a redundant element to the vCard. (Who stops someone entering
anything they want in this new age field, anyway?)
Failing that, Perl (and probably others) has a library for parsing
human-entered dates.
The problem is different. Users doesn't want to input their bithrday,
want only Age or just Age range (18-21,21-25,etc.).
As Sergei say, many clients treat birthday field as a text field, and users place there Age or
just words "Ask me" :) .
Also, Gender field is absent in current vcard format (Am I wrong?).
