Is libkabc the only library that parses vCard directly?  If so, that's
unfortunate, because of the KDE specific stuff in libkabc (e.g.

There's a W3C note from February of last year:

Till now, I've done my XML programming stuff with Java (again blech), so
I can't comment on the quality of the C++ libraries.  However, xalan and
