Section 7.6:

" The format type and schema parameters can be specified on this
      property and are RECOMMENDED for text or inline binary encoded
      content information."

Doesn't this need to be REQUIRED rather than RECOMMENDED in order for it to
improve rather than potentially worsen interoperability?

Section 8.1:

"User agents MUST NOT include this information
      without informing the participant."

This seems like it needs to say "without the participant's express permission."
(As in https://www.w3.org/TR/geolocation-API).

COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Please respond to the Gen-ART review.

The abstract should mention the update to RFC 7986 and the introduction should
explain what is updated.

Section 11:

"This specification does not
   introduce any additional privacy concerns beyond those described in
   [RFC5545]."

This seems untrue given the sentence that follows it, so this should be deleted.
