* {{OpenIssue}} some new properties seem outside the bounds of "common address book support". some new properties have little or no current usage/implementation in address books, and thus probably shouldn't be in vCard 4, e.g.:
** dday
** birth
** death

* {{OpenIssue}} 'birth' is too generically named compared to its meaning (place of birth)
** suggested alternatives:
*** birthplace (actual English word)
*** birthlocation (re-using "location" from [[iCalendar]]).
* {{OpenIssue}} similarly 'death" is too generically named compared to its meaning (place of death)
** suggested alternatives:
*** deathplace
*** deathlocation (re-using "location" from [[iCalendar]]).
* {{OpenIssue}} 'sex' is very poorly constructed given modern knowledge and understanding of gender/sex issues.  See [[gender]] for more info and suggestions.
