Hi Esben,

The way that org-contacts currently works is that contact details are
grouped together in the same PROPERTIES drawer, e.g.

* Alexis
:PROPERTIES:
:EMAIL:  alexis@example.com
:PHONE:  9999-9999
:END:

and that's what i've assumed in my MobileOrg code for parsing
org-contacts data. i imagine that moving away from such a data layout
would require substantial changes to the org-contacts.el code, which i
have no intention of doing - particularly given the work that would be
needed to ensure backwards-compatibility with people's existing data.

For reference, at the moment, in my own org-contacts file, i've set up
grouping via a headings hierarchy like:

* Lists
** Org-mode
:PROPERTIES:
:EMAIL:  emacs-orgmode@gnu.org
:END:
* People
** Mum and Dad
:PROPERTIES:
:PHONE:  8888-8888
:END:
* Organisations
** Free Software Foundation
:PROPERTIES:
:EMAIL:  info@fsf.org
:END:
*** A. Person
:PROPERTIES:
:EMAIL:  a.person@fsf.org
:END:


Alexis.
