Comment (by atagar):

 > Damian, what would you like to see the spec for the Contact field look
 like? Then we can use that here too.

 Hi Roger, the contact and platform fields would be particularly bad ones
 to emulate. They're the only fields in the spec that allow arbitrary bytes
 (they don't even need to be any form of recognizable text... and due to
 that in practice sometimes aren't).

 It was a mistake to allow the contact and platform fields to be so
 nebulous. Hopefully we won't do that with any new ones. ;)
