Neither proprietary nor unreadable, I'd guess.
It's all text, and I managed to understand most of it.
Weird, however, I'll accept.

So, this person's surname is "Montaig",
and their full name is "Azure Montaig".
Their Internet email addres is <azuremontaig(a)yahoo.com>om>.
(One must admire this protocol -- if that's what it's doing! --
for recognising that not all email is over the Internet.)
This revision is dated 2003 July 31,
but I don't grasp the "T075720Z" bit.
And all of this comprises something called a "VCARD",
to be interpreted according to version 2.1 of that protocol.
If I wanted to know more, doubtless I'd look that up.
