Subject: Re: [VCARDDAV] Adding pronoun property to vCard

I support this property to be included in the vCard given the valid use cases.

This property will have to support multiple language and scripts as there are quite a few languages with gender pronouns.

I suppose the value accepted by PRONOUN would be free text since it would be hard to come up with a controlled vocabulary for it, not to mention there is no standard in doing so.

Not sure whether this is applicable to organizations, unless in some languages organizations have different genders...

Kind regards,
Ron

Is this an English-only property? If not, how does it work with other languages?

This seems well worth a discussion.

a KIND:organization might use "it".

Not necessarily; consider, in British English: "Pink Floyd are a rock
band, they are best known for Dark Side of the Moon" or "Harrods
launched their new sale yesterday".
