 * This is the MarkType that is useful in persisting VCards to a database.
 * There are 4 types of Mark values that assist us in saving VCards to a
 * database. This mark type is available to any class that implements the
 * <code>Persistable</code> interface. So in your DB handling code you can
 * check the mark type of any object and handle it appropriately.
