there are so many to choose from. vCard is one spec that

has some similarities to the material in RFC 2256. It may
be worthwhile to look at it, and see what part of it is
trivially mappable to the fields from 2256. That common
subset might be a good starting point for us. (At least
it provides a way of weeding out some of the fields like
'businessCategory' that are not likely to be useful).     

Excellent suggestion.  vcard has kitchen-sink-like stuff
in it, including logo and pictures (not yet movies ...),
but finding a subset should help considerably.  

Any volunteers?
