Brian, This is a good idea and to be able to import or drop common address files like vcf onto tiddlywiki would be great.
Any vcf file can be dropped on Tiddlywiki and here is an example content Muscio_Anthony.vcf BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:3.0 PRODID:-//Apple Inc.//iPhone OS 9.3.2//EN N:Muscio;Anthony;;; FN: Anthony Muscio ORG:People\, Systems and Things; EMAIL;type=INTERNET;type=WORK;type=pref:am@secured EMAIL;type=INTERNET:anthony.muscio@secured item1.URL;type=pref:www.psat.com.au item1.X-ABLabel:_$!<HomePage>!$_ item2.URL:thp.psat.com.au item2.X-ABLabel:_$!<Other>!$_ END:VCARD Until you get to EMAIL the format use could be interpreted as a Data Dictionary Tiddler All we need is a method to convert or interrogate vcf and similar "tiddlers", I already have a way to intervene in the import process. however by live interrogation of vcf format tiddlers, they would remain available in the original format for further distribution. perhaps an extension to the data tiddler standards to allow the first of the following characters to delimit the key would be an answer ":" current, ";" and ".". When I dropped the above vcf file on my wiki it did set the tiddler type to text/x-vcard so perhaps we can add support for this "mime type".
