We currently define "Title" to be values like Mr, Mrs, Dr, etc.
Checking Wikipedia these are supposedly called Honorifics.
  <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_honorific>

Then for a job title we have a "Role" (CEO, Chief Bottle-Washer, etc).


Looking at the XMPP VCard I see they have both a "Job Title" and a "Role" field.
*confused*
