Also in this case inconsistency can arise:
<email displayname="aa" preferred="1"><a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:aa@aa.com">aa@aa.com</a></email>
<email displayname="bb" preferred="1"><a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:bb@bb.com">bb@bb.com</a></email>

<pre wrap="">like that e are sure to not have duplicate infos and false info
in case of :

In either case, the client altering a contact object is responsible to
ensure consistent data whereas the latter case is IMO preferable because
it doesn't require iteration over all <email> nodes for both reading the
preferred email address and setting/changing

yes but you have not inconsistency in the datas just in the logic (2
preferred) that is more easy to handle than <br>
a different address in <preferred> tag. Now about iteration 70%
of contacts have only one email and perhaps <br>
20% have 2 or 3 , that is not a big iteration :-)<br>
