Even with BBDB there are only few "standard" fields, and a tonne of custom
fields. If conventions are only in naming the property fields that is
trivially fixed through a config file (something I do already for the BBDB
handlers).

If you are interested in writing a sync module for Org-mode as well,

I am a beginner level org-mode user -  I was away from Emacs for nearly 8
years and returned to find this fascinating and gigantic new development in
the Emacs world :) But if you can document your contact structure, I could
potentially implement it some point in the future.

Do you use any import/export/sync code with org-contacts?
