1:1 means that the field names are identical in each, not that the use-case will always be the same. (Incidentally, I have seen vCards made for businesses before...)

RFC 2445 for iCalendar uses "property", it seems a much better system because in vCard there is a TYPE attribute for things like TEL and ADR and it generate more confustion when you say TEL TYPE? is that the TEL TYPE, TYPE attribute, or the TEL TYPE? If you also look at the description for properties (3.1.2 N Type Definition) such as N, it says: "The property MUST be present in the vCard object." So i think "property" is an acceptable term. -brian -- brian suda http://suda.co.uk _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
