    Pronouns are useful to know, but why would I care about the gender? o.O

    It's a format for contact information, and it provides fields for many properties.

    business logic to fit to government LDAP user databases basically. XMPP has a lot of such legacy stuff. ✎

    I wouldn't say vcard is legacy. There aren't many standards to choose from for this purpose, and it's good that XMPP didn't just invent its own.

  9. MattJ

    Like XMPP, vcard evolves, and I don't think it has ever just been for government employee databases.

    legacy in the sense that even many government departments are not using that stuff anymore 😅️
