Subject: [VCARDDAV] TITLE versus ROLE

My favorite vCard properties have always been TITLE and ROLE. This  
reason for this is that I use this example in teaching metadata  
semantics, and unfortunately, they are a good source for overlapping  
semantics and confusing definitions.

So, to remove these slides from my lectures, I propose these updates  
for the two properties:

7.6.2 TITLE

Purpose: To specify the position or job of the object the vCard  
represents

Example: TITLE: Research Scientist

7.6.2 ROLE

Purpose: To specify the function or part played in a particular  
situation by the object the vCard represents

Example: TITLE: Project Leader
