You know, it really shouldn't be hard to write an org-contacts.el *backend*
for BBDB.  I mean, a data source is a data source, who cares if it's an Elisp
form (.bbdb) or text data?

In fact, my Org-X project would make transforming an org-contacts.el buffer
into a BBDB Lisp form trivial.  Transforming it back (for writing) would be a
bit more work, but nothing too onerous.
