 * the contact. For this reason it usually contains more data compared
 * to the corresponding view contact. It can contain all types of fields that
 * are supported by the its parent store.
 *
 * The store contact can be edited if it's not read-only. The client must
 * first lock the existing contact then edit it and finally commit the changes.
