Well, do not count on me for that. I use git, it does the job. :)

Well, I had some but they are defcustom anyway, so there's no standard.
I do not want to put too much obligation on the format used, because
Org-mode is about organizing stuff the way you want.

For example, some people might want to cut the address part in
(STREET,ZIPCODE,CITY,COUNTRY) whereas I think it's a burden, I just put
a LOCATION property with all the address in it. In the end, it does not
matter for org-contacts.

Sure that'd be cool. But I don't have such a phone unfortunately, so
can't help. :)
