Re: [Gen-art] Gen-ART review of draft-salgueiro-vcarddav-kind-device-06

[Gonzalo Salgueiro <[e-mail]>]

Vijay - 

Good to hear from you, my friend. Hope you are well.

Thanks for the detailed review. As for your two nits:

1. I'm fine with the suggested edit and will update the next version (after IETF LC) with the suggested changes.

2. FN is a well-known identification property for vCards and does expand to "Full Name". Even in RFC 6350 it doesn't appear to be expanded, so I'll likely continue that trend and simply add a reference section 6.2.1 of RFC 6350 after the usage of FN to help the uninitiated in vCards.  Is that OK with you?

Cheers,

Gonzalo
