Common properties

FN is the formatted display name. N stores structured name parts. TEL stores phone numbers. EMAIL stores email addresses. ORG and TITLE describe work details. NOTE, CATEGORIES, UID, and PHOTO add optional context.

Unknown and X- properties

Applications often add vendor properties. A safe converter should preserve unknown properties when it can, or explain when a target version cannot represent them.
