Folks, Although the devil is often in the detail, I think first, taking a strategic approach to tiddlifying such content and parsing the text field of a vcf or ics file into fields within the tiddler, is the smart approach (Leave data tiddlers aside, single tiddler solutions are better). When none unique keys occur add a number at the end of the fieldname. The thing is, a generic method of retaining all data but parsing it into a rich tiddler is all we need to do to convert such standards to tiddlywiki. Once we have such tiddlers it is then trivial to edit and change and regenerate such file formats to export using standard tiddlywiki features. This could also be developed to allow such rich tiddlers to drag and drop the item into another app. eg drag tiddler.ics to an email client to attach.
We could quickly build a library of text formats to rich tiddlers, and rich tiddlers to text versions (like the original file) and an export format. The library will inform others how to build another converter so if one does not exist we can send them in the right direction quickly. Its about developing the ecosystem, not the details of different formats, then participants with a direct interest in a particular file format do the work and share back.
