I, for one, would love to see org-contacts being improved in any way.
Integrating this with MobileOrg would be an extremely helpful and
something I have wanted since the day I started using org-contacts.

About the spec, might it make sense to use a standard already in
existence as a starting point or even a major inspiration?  Something
like vCard for example?
