   Internationalisation is certainly an incorrect usage of the  
abbreviation pattern and should be avoided (the English title will be  
exposed to your French readers).

   The value-class-pattern is the correct way to mark-up this content,  
but, because it is very new, parsers are still implementing support  
for it. That's why you probably don't see it in downloaded vcards yet.  
This will improve over the next few months.

Which parser are you using to do the conversion to vcard?
