Hi,


I just finished implementing parts of the draft-ietf-calext-jscontact-07 
and draft-ietf-calext-jscontact-vcard-06 specs and found a few more nits 
and pieces that one might want to improve.

In my opinion, the specs are extensive and well-defined in general. 
Especially, not using the label parameter any longer for mapping between 
vCard and JSCalendar makes implementation much easier.  I hope this 
feedback not misplaced, considering their status in the review process. 
I consider them quite mature. This is not supposed to hold up 
publication of the documents.

draft-ietf-calext-jscontact-07 :

* Section 2.2.2 defines the type a NameComponent can have. Right now, 
there is no type for "birth name", which some systems use (see 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maiden_and_married_names ). If still 
sensible (considering the state the document is in) I would suggest you 
MAY add something like type "birth. The value is the previous surname 
which has been replaced by surname, also known as "birth name" or 
"maiden name".".

* Section 2.2.4 defines OrgUnit, which is a very simple object with 
basically a name and a sort order. All of its properties are currently 
optional. It probably would not hurt to make name mandatory in OrgUnit.

* Section 2.3.2 says that "The |service| property SHOULD be set.". 
However, it is not obvious to me which value to set it to. For example, 
how would I find out the canonical service name for 
"xmpp:[e-mail]"? Maybe some additional guidance on how to find 
out the "canonical service name" would be good. How would I find out 
whether it is "Example.com" or "EXAMple.com"?

draft-ietf-calext-jscontact-vcard-06:

* Section 2.3.1 "To preserve the verbatim value of the ALTID parameter, 
set the JSContact extension properties |props| or |params| defined in 
Section 2.16 
<https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-calext-jscontact-vcard-06.html#new-jscontact>." 
should probably be "To preserve the verbatim value of the ALTID 
parameter, set the JSContact extension properties |vCardProps| or 
|vCardParams| defined in Section 2.16 
<https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-calext-jscontact-vcard-06.html#new-jscontact>." 


* it is not explicitly mentioned in the spec that vCard's "HOME" type 
maps to JSContact's "private" type.

* JSContact allows having an Anniversary without a type. It probably 
makes sense to write some guidance for that case. I guess the idea here 
would be to map that to a JSCONTACT-PROP vCard property?

Joris
