My current solution:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/57231/ and
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/75346/

Absolutely.

Lacking any standard here, I created my own and meanwhile I do even
generate spam-filters and whitelist items out of my org-contacts
file. Also handy: when I filled out :ITOLDTHEM_EMAIL: my mail client
is using the specified "from"-email-address instead of my normal one
whenever I compose an email to this contact :-)

Absolutely! I copy that.

My current yasnippet for a contact:
