[uf-discuss] Mapping fields between Apple Address Book and hCard

[Colin D. Devroe]

For a small personal project I'm putting together, I'm going to  
attempt to export my entire Address Book (from Apple's Address Book),  
or just a selected Group within Address Book, to an XHTML file with  
valid hCard formatted contacts.  I figured since most people are  
attempting to get hCard's to be imported into the applications we all  
use daily, I thought maybe it'd be cool to do the opposite. Yipee,  
fun, fun.

My first task was to map the fields between Apple's Address Book and  
the hCard spec.  I would appreciate if someone could make sure I  
didn't make any glaringly wrong assumptions.

Please note: When going over this mapping table, I realize I am  
reusing the class names to denote the sub-classes.  This is  
intentional, as I am trying to show that if only one of the  
subordinates is present, the master class is needed.  Maybe this  
isn't the best way to show that, but I thought it worked for me.

Thanks in advance.

please let me have them.
