I have been following a VCard-like naming scheme for org-contacts
properties for a longer time. 

see
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-04/msg01224.html

Recently, because of the lack of support for properties in MobileOrg and
the lost support for links in properties, I finally decided to export my
contact data to Google Contacts and -- just in order to try it -- to
BBDB.  I accomplished this by creating a table with org-collector and
exporting it to CSV that can be imported by Google Contacts and BBDB.

Therefore I had to change the naming scheme.  It is now similar to that
of Google Contacts.

Here is the appropriate code:

#+BEGIN_SRC org
# -*- mode: org; org-cycle-hook: (org-cycle-hide-archived-subtrees 
org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks org-cycle-show-empty-lines 
org-optimize-window-after-visibility-change) -*-
