           Summary: add support for requesting handles for a vCard field or
                    URI
           Product: Telepathy
           Version: git master
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: tp-spec
        AssignedTo: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: simon.mcvittie at collabora.co.uk


Some extra ways to request a handle would be helpful:

* From a vCard, often for telephony: ('tel', '+441223362967') -> +441223362967
in telepathy-ring, tel:+441223362967 or (hypothetically)
sip:441223362967 at pstn-gateway.example.com in telepathy-sofiasip

* From a URI: 'xmpp:bob at example.com/Work' -> bob at example.com in
telepathy-gabble

Either or both of these would be good to have in cases where we deal with more
than one protocol:

* Native MSNP vs. Yahoo! interop in telepathy-butterfly

* sip: vs. tel: in telepathy-sofiasip

* Eventually, other protocols via gateways, in telepathy-gabble?

A sketch of a spec:

Connection
==========

method RequestHandleByVCard(s: Field, s: Value) -> u: Contact_Handle, s:
Normalized_Name

method RequestHandleByURI(s: URI) -> u: Contact_Handle, s: Normalized_Name

Protocol
========

property AddressableVCardFields: as

property AddressableURISchemes: as
