ok, so the name may want to take into consideration the ideas of fuller

yeah, i think this idea has very limited application as well. e.g. i'm really 
not sure how this would work out in most corporate environments.

i was mostly referring to me being able to send you information from my store, 
much as i can with a vCard now, but with all this extended data on the 
individual. i would assume this would be possible, but i'm wondering if 
this "sharability" is at all intended to be an interesting and core part of 
the system?
