Limited, but something to prepare as option for those who would like it, if 
the cost isn't to high and someone does the work, I think.

Given a standardized format, or vcard field names, this should be possible. Or 
what do you mean by store? Your "company"? Data storage?

Not sure what you are up here, but the data should be of course 
transferable/exchangeable with others? You mean approaches to the problem 
that links to other persons or groups cannot make use of uuids, because there 
is no common id system? Yes, not in the scope right now, but for 
import/export something to be solved later.
I try one step after the other :)
