I agree. Getting any meaningful contact info attributes just from translating
addresses is an unnecessarily strong requirement. A rump vCard could be
returned based on what the CM knows immediately, but what is to tell the
clients that they can ask for more?
If ContactInfo attributes are explicitly requested, the CM could retrieve
remote contact information in background and signal updates. But it should not
be mandated behavior.
