Not just contact information, but correct contact information. It would
be nice if there were a site exit, in the server, that a site could use to
either check the information given against localy defined rules:

       - Are all required parts given
       - Are the values valid

Or given some key formulate the contact information from internal
   site database(s). The key could be information such as ip address
   which the server should know from the connection. Or some locally
   defined id which the user could enter in the contact field.
If the information is not valid the exit should be able to display
an error msg via the adsm client and ask the person to try again.
