Re: Families of Entries

["Mark D. Anderson" <mda@discerning.com>]

it isn't clear to me how this 
captures the vCard information model (www.imc.org),
or that of the ldap wpPerson draft.
syntax aside, those allow keyword properties attached
to each attribute value:

phone: 123-1234 (pref $ msg $ work)
phone: 123-5432 (home $ old)
phone: 130-4590 (mobile $ work $ msg)

How would this look as one of your "family tree"s?
How would ACL's work, so that certain users couldn't see 
attributes with a "home" property?

On the implementation side, how would indexing work if I
want this to be my information model, but I'd like to do
a search for the person with a certain home city (so the
search could benefit both from the attribute "l" and from
the property "home")?
