mapping VCard properties to LDAP fields?

hello all

I am in the process of specifying a way to map cleanly as many VCard prop=
erties to LDAP
fields as possible. this effort will be used to advance development of th=
e LDAP
connector [2] for Sync4j [1].

if I understand correctly, there exists no RFC or any other accepted spec=
ification to do
this the "proper" way. but before we roll our own mapping, I wanted to as=
k you first.

I know that multisync did work wonderfully with my trusty old Palm IIIx a=
nd LDAP, and
that you guys wrote a SyncML plugin for it as well. now I suppose that mu=
ltisync
internally has its own data-model for contacts, calendar items, and to-do=
-items and that
each plugin has first to convert its own data to this internal format.

is there any documentation about multisync's mapping? or should I simply =
try to read the
code?

any hints would be appreciated!

thanks & regards
