Two-party sync is easy: just record diffs as metadata and exchange that in the sync protocol. PID/LASTPID are simply a way to put that metadata into the vCard.

What is the metadata that should go into the vCard (and thus become data)? I'm still not convinced that there should be *any*, especially if a sync engine still cannot do a reasonable sync job without metadata.

If we just don't want to address three-party sync, I would argue against having any PID stuff in vCard and instead just exchange diffs.

If we do want to address three-party sync, I fear PID/LASTPID won't be enough to do a reasonable sync job, and in that case I would also argue against having any PID stuff in vCard.
