Brian, first of all thanks for the feedback. Brian Suda schrieb:
I do have a few concerns about the DRAFT recommendation and some suggestions on fixes. The example in the document has the following: IMPP;TYPE=personal,pref:im:alice@xxxxxxxxxxx The use of the : (Colon) as a separator should only be used between the property and the value. Older applications that currently parse vCards are probably "splitting" on the first : (colon) and in this instance would extract a value of "im:alice@xxxxxxxxxxx" when in fact this is not the case. Older vCard parsers would have to be updated to prevent breaking. This could be avoided by simply using only one : (colon) to separate the property from the value and the example be changed to something like: IMPP;TYPE=personal,pref;PP=im:alice@xxxxxxxxxxx What this also allows is the ability to make PP extensible. At the moment this is an enumerated list of values. This could be changed to an enumerated list plus, "iana-token / x-name;"
You say a parser that splits at the first colon would *incorrectly* extract a value of "im:alice@xxxxxxxxxxx". Well, that *is* the IMPP URI, so what exactly is the problem? (Note that the "im" URI scheme is defined <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3860#page-10>).
