Re: [VCARDDAV] New vcardrev draft

[Mark Paterson <[e-mail]>]

Hi Simon,

Great job. Overall the format for the document looks good.

A few small suggestions:

- Section 5.3 might be more clear if it were labeled "Postal Addressing 
Properties". I think the word "Delivery" is a little confusing since I 
can deliver something as an email
- The LANG Property isn't just for Telecommunications. If I decide to 
pen a letter and mail it to someone (call me old fashioned) it's helpful 
to know what language they can read so perhaps LANG should be moved to 
"General Properties"
- In section 3 the Published specification refers to 
"draft-resnick-vcardbis-00" which I assume has been superseded by this 
draft.

For future work here is a list of things for people to consider

- As Cyrus suggested, being able to use N to refer to a company
- Be more clear about data formats for PHOTO, SOUND, etc.. that shoudl 
be acceptable
- Stricter descriptions of values for BDAY and DDAY (can my time of 
death really be floating??)
- New ADR format (UPU S42? other suggestions?)
- Be clearer on ADR type values that can be used.
- Have way to enumerate (or uniquely id) postal addressed if contact has 
more then one.
- Update TEL format (E.164 anyone?)
- Be clearer on TEL type values that can be used.
- Have way to enumerate (or uniquely id) telecommunication addresses if 
contact has more then one.
- BBS, PCS?
- Do we really need MAILER?
- Proper format for TZ values

Let the fun begin :-)
