I think this does capture the feeling of the room thus far. 

The side issues are

	this can be set differently for different instances of contact data
	within one object.

	this can be set differrently for different objects in one stream of
	objects

No. I'm less sure we agreed on that. The words I kept hearing were 'social
data' but It wasn't explicit that was limited to contact mapping.

It might be my misunderstanding of what 'social data' and 'contact mapping'
are in this context.
