Summary: no objections.



There are very real security concerns, but the only surprise is that 


they're discussed only by reference.  The draft refers to the general 


vCard spec (RFC6350).  RFC6350 does an adequate job.  One might argue 


that vCards more devices are more likely to be used in automated and 


perhaps unfamiliar ways, so the ricks are greater than with vCards for 


humans.  But we let a similar doc (RFC6473) be published a year ago 


with this same sort of referral, so it's hard to make a case than 


anything needs to change here.




Thanks to the editors for the very readable doc.
