This is promising.  Our ward has found that it is only the ward leaders
who are interested in a ward directory in their desktop address book and
portable device.  The default lds.org membership directory has sufficed
for everyone else.  Because it is only ward leaders, we've justified
providing them with additional information in the vCards "notes" section
such as callings, birthday, home teachers, and membership numbers (for
filling out recommends).  We generate this from the MLS .csv ecports, but
some MLS/lds.org built-in functionality would be swell.
