Mailing addresses

[Ron Daniel]

There are a ton of different 'standards' for mailing addresses.
vCard is another one you might want to look at. You can
get info on it at www.imc.org.

There is already a proposal for an XML encoding of vCard,
and on my 'to-do' list is an item about seeing what
an XML treatment of vCard would look like if it were
based on RDF. (Of course, just because its on my
to-do list doesn't mean it will actually happen - there
are priorities as well and this item does not have a
high priority for me. :-(
