The general opinion was, I believe, that it is not very important
to be able to represent a postal address, teletex addres or fax
address on a business card in a X.400-encoded format, since it
would be much more natural to present these addresses in the
normal non-X.400 way of printing these addresses.

In the case of directory names, there may be a need to represent
these on a business card, but that would perhaps be a task for
another group than the X.400 standardization group.

Some people claim that there is no need to have a particular
way of representing directory names on business cards, since
directory names ought to be so user-friendly, and directory systems
so clever, that a normal user can produce a directory query
from the normal information on the business card without any
requirement of a special format. I am not sure that I believe
in this!
