Great Work !!, Probably you can use stuff under addressbook/tests/vcard
as a test suite as you do your work. Vcard parsing going to loop is
http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=70918.  Apart from the
missing lp++ we need to add some skip_to_next_line calls in
read_attribute_params to take care of vcards like the second one
attached in the bug report. Will have a look at your patch

Thanks,
