As a matter of fact, I talked with Paul Hoffman (Director of the Internet Mail Consortium, which owns the rights to vCard) about this just last week. There is no XML encoding that he knows of, but he encouraged me to define one. The only constraint is that we don't call it "vCard" since that is a trademark they don't want to dilute. He suggested calling it something like "vCard-XML". He also suggested that it be based on the IETF version of the vCard schema, which offers a couple of improvements over the 2.1 spec that is current. After the IETF issues the "vCad MIME Directory Profile" as an RFC, IMC is going to call it vCard 3.0. I took a quick look at the Internet draft he was talking about, an XML version of that info does not look too hard. However, since I'm involved with the RDF effort, I was thinking about what an RDF-compliant version of it might look like. I've gotten distracted by real work in the meantime, but I'd be happy to help with the effort.
