Why is the server only to be restricted about setting “names" while the client is restricted about displaying any strings?)
Not to get too sidetracked down this pathway (and thank John for the considered response about the path forward - I expect the authors will look at how best to express it)
I should have maybe been more clear. "name" field, etc are protocol things relevant to the JMAP-level objects, Address Book in particular. The other category of data is "stuff that is inside a contact" - I believe we have to be less restrictive about that in order to remain backwards and forwards compatible with VCARD and allow data to round-trip cleanly, but we can still suggest that the client displays ALL text in such a way that it doesn't leave the user open to the copy-paste horrors of random control characters; regardless of whether it's from parts of the JMAP Contacts protocol elements, or part of the contact data payload.
Cheers,
Bron.
