 * <b>3.2.2 LABEL Type Definition</b>
 * <ul>
 * 	<li><b>Type name:</b> LABEL</li>
 * 	<li><b>Type purpose:</b> To specify the formatted text corresponding to delivery address of the object the vCard represents.</li>
 * 	<li><b>Type encoding:</b> 8bit</li>
 * 	<li><b>Type value:</b> A single structured text value, separated by the SEMI-COLON character (ASCII decimal 59).</li>
 * 	<li><b>Type special note:</b> The type value is formatted text that can be used to present a delivery address label for the vCard object. The type can include the type parameter "TYPE" to specify delivery label type. The TYPE parameter values can include "dom" to indicate a domestic delivery label; "intl" to indicate an international delivery label; "postal" to indicate a postal delivery label; "parcel" to indicate a parcel delivery label; "home" to indicate a delivery label for a residence; "work" to indicate delivery label for a place of work; and "pref" to indicate the preferred delivery label when more than one label is specified. These type parameter values can be specified as a parameter list (i.e., "TYPE=dom;TYPE=postal") or as a value list (i.e., "TYPE=dom,postal"). This type is based on semantics of the X.520 geographical and postal addressing attributes. The default is "TYPE=intl,postal,parcel,work". The default can be overridden to some other set of values by specifying one or more alternate values. For example, the default can be reset to "TYPE=intl,post,parcel,home" to specify an international delivery label for both postal and parcel delivery to a residential location.</li>
