Internet-Draft phonetic transcription Extensions March 2014
1. Introduction
The pronunciation(and phonetic transcription) of the name varies
according to a country. To describe the pronunciation of the name,
the property is added.
This property is used to clarify the pronunciation(readings name)
of the name. Also, this property can be used to sort a name by
pronunciation(readings name).
The description by a country-specific-language and X-SAMPA is also
possible.
1.1. Terminology Used in This Document
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
Syntax specifications shown here use the augmented Backus-Naur Form
(ABNF) as described in [RFC5234], and are specified as in the base
vcard specification [RFC6350].
2. Identification Property Extensions
The following sections define the phonetic transcription property.
2.1. Property: PHONETIC-NAME
Namespace:
Property name: PHONETIC-NAME
Purpose: To specify the components of the phonetic full name of the
object the vCard represents.
Value type: A single structured text value.
Cardinality: *1
Property parameters:
Description: The structured property value corresponds, in sequence,
to the Phonetic Full Name, Phonetic Family Name and Phonetic
Given Name. The text components are separated by the SEMICOLON
character (U+003B). To express the pronunciation of the full
name, family name and given name, you MAY write the
PHONETIC-NAME property in a country-specific-language.
The description by a X-SAMPA is also possible.

Format definition:
PHONETIC-NAME-param = "VALUE=text" / altid-param / type-param
/ language-param / mediatype-param / any-param
PHONETIC-NAME-value = list-component 2(";" list-component)
Examples:
PHONETIC-NAME;MEDIATYPE=text/hiragana:<U+3084><U+307E><U+3060>
<U+305F><U+308D><U+3046>;<U+3084><U+307E><U+3060>;
<U+305F><U+308D><U+3046>
; <U+XXXX> denotes a UTF8-encoded Unicode character.
PHONETIC-NAME;MEDIATYPE=text/ipa; option=x-sampa:jamada ta4oM;;
3. Security Considerations
This presents no security considerations beyond those in section 9 of
the base vcard specification [RFC6350].
4. IANA Considerations
The IANA is requested to add the following entries to the vCard
Properties registry, defined in [RFC6350] section 10.3.1.
+-----------+--------------+---------------------------------+
| Namespace | Property | Reference |
+-----------+--------------+---------------------------------+
| | PHONETIC-NAME | RFCXXXX, section 2.1 |
