I also want to see flat files; something like a vcard, maybe even an xml
version of one put into an RFC.

I'd also want the files to default to a new XDG directory for contacts
instead of being hidden away in the configuration directory for gnome.
(because it's user data, not configuration)

I believe there is a new .config directory and probably a new .cache
directory for all the stuff programs need to do with those. It'd be nice
to sort out the data using a standard like XDG too.
