Indeed, the situation looks like a mess. Luckily there should be no big difficulty adding the vcard.el code by Noah Friedmann to the `vcard` package in GNU ELPA (so as to resolve the naming conflict). Beside resolving the naming conflict, the code would benefit from some love, as well. You seem to be a good candidate to try and tackle this. Stefan
