Incompatibilities and limitations of the vCard contact storing standard.

Describe the solution you'd like
In the IETF’s RFC 9553, JSContact, a new standard for JSON Representation of Contact Data has been published. I believe this could be the final solution for the major issue of contact cards compatibility!
