[Vobject] Problem with BDAY in vcard

I haven't written any code to handle VCARD's date syntax, so the date
won't get parsed into a Python date or datetime.  But you can add the
value parameter, if you want to.  vobject gives you access to parameters
by adding _param to the parameter name, so:

>>> import vobject
>>> card = vobject.vCard()
>>> card.add('bday').value = "1980-09-26"
>>> card.bday.value_param = "DATE"
>>> print card.bday.serialize()
BDAY;VALUE=DATE:1980-09-26

Sincerely,
Jeffrey
