Hello, i'm working on a gnustep (http://www.gnustep.org) application, an addressbook. So the first format that i want to support is the vcard3.0 (rfc2426). So i've read the rfc and i've some questions :-) If i understood the concept, a vcard is used to represent a person ; so there is many fields to do that (name, birthday, address, organization, etc). But can we have more than one N field in the same vcard (for the same language) ? About the UID field ; extract from rfc2426, p24, paragraph 3.6.7: "The type can include the type parameter "TYPE" to specify the format of the identifier. The TYPE parameter value should be an IANA registered identifier format. The value can also be a non-standard format." The BNF grammar, that can we find at the end of the rfc, says at the page 35: "For name="UID" param = "" ; No parameters allowed value = text-value" So, can we have a TYPE parameter or can't we ? :-) Can you give me an example of this TYPE parameter ? More important, is there a standard way (or a very used way) to generate this UID ? Should i use the Message-ID way (rfc2822) ? Regards, Vincent Ricard -- Vincent
