I don't know which software stack is creating this vCard data.

Emanoil: can you let us know if you are getting this data from Akonadi
	or if you are creating it yourself?  If the plugin is creating
	the vCard data, the plugin should be fixed, not the parser.

But, if people have time on their hands, and want to hack on the code,
go to the vformat plugin, in src/xmlformat-vcard.c, line 444, and
change the handle_location_attribute() function.  Test code would also
be nice. :-)
