Actually vcard does not require the N property to be present, only VERSION 
and FN in addition to BEGIN/END (as per 
<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6350#section-3.3>).

Note: vcard v3 used to require that N was present, but that requirement was 
dropped in vcard v4.

Also, would it not make sense to include IMPP 
(<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6350#section-6.4.3>) as one of the allowed 
properties? Seems like that matches the intent of using EMAIL and TEL.

The "Other types MUST NOT be included." is perhaps a little strong. I can 
certainly see situations where it might be useful to have other properties 
such as SOURCE, KIND or REV present. Perhaps that can be changed to a 
"SHOULD NOT"?
