I don't see a problem with hovering over it and seeing "Version: (Fetching)", 
which would be replaced in front of your eyes when the information becomes 
available.  It wouldn't be such a chore to just hold the mouse still a while 
longer.

Problem is, if you have 100 people on your contact list, it would take you 100 
hours to update someone's vcard...  I hope that PSA keeps to his ideas of 
using pubsub for the replacement of vCard. :-)
