* UID (ID to uniquely identify the address book card. This makes it much easier to synchronize with other sources and to keep track of changes.)
* UID (ID to uniquely identify the address book card. This makes it much easier to synchronize with other sources and to keep track of changes.)
* [[XFN]] tags and/or personalised tags field - for easy grouping, and searching of contacts (maybe the Notes field can do it already?).
* IM username field with protocol (list) field, or just single field to type the complete string needed to contact the person using desired protocol (Pidgin IM supports the most widely used).-Njpl

'''Proposals for a new Card Edit form'''
* Tab with Addresses, where Work and Home are side by side (not expandable, but addresses the resolution issue):
                  Home      Work
Position                    [.......]
Department                  [.......]
Organisation/Company        [.......]
Address 1        [......]  [.......]
Address 2        [......]  [.......]
City            [......]  [.......]
State/Province  [......]  [.......]
ZIP/Postal Code  [......]  [.......]
Country          [......]  [.......]
* As someone wrote in Talk page of Address_Book, an Ultimate AddressBook relating the contacts and locations would be a truly innovative approach, where relations are introduced between locations and people, and maybe between people, too. The gmail approach is flexible in this case, but is not mappable to a spreadsheet. In this case, we can add sets of information, each containing a list of fields and a location. -Njpl
