IMHO, all the data types in your table should be supported, and then grouped into "classes".
Portable contact is very useful, but so is vCard, as you can use it to populate many address books. (Besides, vCard covers everything in Portable contact.) It is not much of fragmentations nor too much work on the OP part. Having said that, I am not particularly pushing for vCard. It was a merely an example of the notion of the "class".
