The first test of the initial LID model is to use the model to represent the examples of vCards provided in RFC 2426. The first step of this test is to prepare the test cases by making a list of the examples in the RFC. While making this list, your humble tester was reminded that a vCard may include another vCard. The initial model failed to provide for this.

To correct this error, I changed the model, following the GOF pattern, Composite: I made IdentityData a subclass of IdentityDataItem.

Remember folks:

"Testing is the process of [using a model] with the intent of finding errors."
