I've figured out the cause for the vCard parsing problem I was having, but
not a way to get around it.
I'm exporting waypoints for MapSonic to pull from the address book using
vCards and the Exchange Manager, and it requires both a semicolon and
degree symbols (char. code 176) in the zip code field to specify lat/lon.
If I leave out the degree symbols, it parses the backslash-escaped
semicolon correctly, but apparently gets confused when they're in there.
Maybe I'm missing something specific to vCard encoding, considering those
symbols aren't 7-bit ASCII characters? The encoding for the ADR field is
supposed to be 8-bit, though, so it seems that that shouldn't be an issue,
but it is.
