Looking at http://microformats.org gives many hopes for standardising the field of contact and event management fields, especially after what Google Calendar has created. For me, the clear need is to make the Addressbook an external application, and make Firefox, Calendar/Sunbird, and Thunderbird use it. Interchangeability of the contacts and events/appointments should be a cooperative aim for the information exchange application creators, like the RSS technology. It's not about proprietarisation and dominating the market. It's about possibilities for the user. What do You think?
:(is this page intentionally kept unstructured? is it a good idea, to make a separate section for the addressbook, for example?)

For me, the clear need is to make the Addressbook an external application, and make Firefox, Calendar/Sunbird, and Thunderbird use it. I have put the iCalendar support also here, because email client has to pupport it, in order to understand the "event" microformat attachments to emails.
