Hi.
Plugin can be interesting implementation. I also would like to
see in desktop app.
I put up some ideas on Flickr a while ago. It's not exactly
what you're talking about, but somewhat similar.

I just thought of a possible application for hcard:
A Mozilla plugin would allow you to enter a URL for a person
instead of
full details in the addressboox. Then Thunderbird would check
with that
webpage regularly and see if their e-mail address has changed to
update
its addressbook.
One problem here is that many people may be unwilling to publish
their
email addresses on a web page, because of the certainty that the
address
will be picked up by spammers. This may limit the number of cases
where
this would be useful.
I can't see that as a problem to not go ahead. I receive over 300
spam a day and am doing okay. Most people probably don't have the
technology required to deal with that level of spam, but many do -
they can place their hcards on their website in any form, and
everyone will benefit from that - both the website owners, and the
people who communicate with them.
And the fact that employing anti-spam technology allows you to
place your hcard in the open, will entice more people to employ
anti-spam measures.
