I hope WebDAV dies

My pet peeve with vCard is the lack of an encoding and the resulting mess with various implementations. JMAP fixes this by enforcing utf8. You have my vote. :)

To be fair the newer versions of vcard also specify this, and I haven't had a single encoding issue with even the older versions. Every server just seems to send UTF-8, no questions asked.

So far all my phones had a different way to encode Unicode strings. When I wanted to merge the data, I tried a bunch of Python libraries and all failed differently. In the end I wrote my own one-off script.

Both vCard 4 and jCard are strictly UTF-8 too.
