What would be great is having more country-specific parsing and display functions. EBDB can display phone numbers, etc, differently depending on the country code. You can look at ebdb-i18n, and also ebdb-chn, which is the only country-specific library I've written, which is why I'm hoping people will pitch in here :) Basically look at your contacts and see if any them have field data that should be read or displayed in country-specific ways, and see if you can tackle that. You'll need a passing familiarity with generic functions, but that part should mostly be copy-and-paste. The work would be with regular expressions, string formatting, that sort of thing, which is good practice! >> I do expect the DAV server stuff to take me a while, though.

That's too bad... Eric
