This reply is valid also for the AN and CAR extension proposals.

Recently I posted my personal reasons for considering an extension for inclusion
in vCard 4. They were fairly well received. Here they are:

- The extension provides functionality that was present in vCard 3 or earlier.
- It provides functionality that is necessary for extensions to build upon.
- It is needed by a majority of vCard implementations.

As far as I can see, neither DRINK, AN, nor CAR fit any of these.

+1 for not including DRINK and CAR in the core spec.

About AN, I think it is a common use case. There are already different X-properties for representing this information (e.g. X-ANNIVERSARY, X-EVOLUTION-ANNIVERSARY). Besides, some contact management software, such as Outlook (whose vCard implementation is rather incomplete) allows an anniversary date.
