I have reviewed this document as part of the security directorate's ongoing
effort to review all IETF documents being processed by the IESG. These
comments were written primarily for the benefit of the security area
directors. Document editors and WG chairs should treat these comments just
like any other last call comments.

This document defines an XML schema for representing a VCARD. The XML
representation is semantically equivalent to the text-based format specified in
draft-ietf-vcarddav-vcard-rev.

In the security considerations section of this document, the authors claim that
the security considerations for XML VCARDs are identical to the security
considerations for text VCARDs. I agree with the document authors that the
translation from text to XML introduces no additional security considerations.

Minor Nit:

On page 8:
"... whose default value is not know MUST be converted using the value type XML
element ..."

Replace "know" with "known"
