I've only read about FOAF but doesn't FOAF overlap the vCard/RDF about section? How many ways do we need to represent a persons / contacts attributes? Hopefully the 4 different XML structures mentioned and others that may exist can be rolled into one "standard" that covers all the same attributes of a contact. Just like the versions of RSS that were developed separately so have very differing structures. It would be easier to support one definitive standard that followed a controlled path of enhancement over succeeding versions than several different versions developed without regard for the existing format / structure of the others.
