You're right, I had misunderstood the function.

If you're not already using magit[1] I highly recommend it to you. You
can use it to commit only a portion of the changes (you can also do it
with "git commit --interactive" but I find it easier with magit).

I must admit I am unsure about this. On one side it does solve some
problems, on the other side I don't really like the idea of adding this
extra syntax on top of properties.

I think it's fine to use semicolons to separate values in node
properties, but I would like to expose a clean API to manipulate users
and user's properties so that we don't have to use `*-split-*'
everywhere.

For example it could expose your previous example into this:
#+BEGIN_SRC lisp
  '((kind "individual")
    (org "STREY Consult")
    (fn "Michael Strey")
    (n ("Stry" "Michael" ""))
    (adr ("" "" "my street" "my city" "federal state" "post code" "my country") 
:type home)
    (email "mailto:address@hidden";)
    (email "mailto:address@hidden"; :pref 1)
    (tel "[[tel:0321 21104568]]" :type "fax,work")
    (tel "[[tel:0351 4129535]]" :type "fax,home")
    (tel "[[tel:0351 4129535]]" :type "voice,home")
    (lang "de")
    (icon "~/GTD/Icons/icon-strey_michael.jpg"))  
#+END_SRC

My bad (again :/).
