Feature description

The stock Android contacts app has various extensions for phonetic names. In Stock, you'll see that the Name field has a drop-down (up arrow ^) that offers more fields, and then a "More Fields" link that provides even more, including:

"phonetic last/middle/first name",

Export from Stock:

FN:Prefix First Middle Last, Suffix
N:Last;First;Middle;Prefix;Suffix
X-PHONETIC-FIRST-NAME:PFirst
X-PHONETIC-MIDDLE-NAME:PMiddle
X-PHONETIC-LAST-NAME:PLast

Export from Google Contacts is the same:

FN:Prefix First Middle Last Suffix
N:Last;First;Middle;Prefix;Suffix
X-PHONETIC-FIRST-NAME:PFirst
X-PHONETIC-MIDDLE-NAME:PMiddle
X-PHONETIC-LAST-NAME:PLast

So the request is to add the X-PHONETIC properties as editable.
