Someone asked me the other day if vCard could carry information about a
person's date of birth, in order to disambiguate between two people with
the same name. The answer is, yes it can. In LOM, use the BDAY element,
as follows:
<![CDATA[BEGIN:VCARD
FN:John Lennon
N:Lennon;John;Winston;;
BDAY:1940-10-09
END:VCARD]]>
The date format is YYYY-MM-DD. Note that vCard can't carry the date of
death.
