Anssi >From a process perspective I believe we can reference vCard 4, though the bibliography entry should note it is a draft and subject to change. This does require a guess as to timing - we cannot go to REC with a draft reference. Alternatively we might be better off referencing vCard 3.0. (Adding an editors note that we might reference vCard 4.0 in the future might be helpful) Is the only benefit of referencing 4.0 the sync mechanisms? What are the implications of referencing 3 vs 4 apart from maturity of the spec? Is vCard 4.0 backwardly compatible with vCard 3? regards, Frederick Frederick Hirsch Nokia On Jan 14, 2011, at 1:56 PM, ext Anssi Kostiainen wrote: > Hi, > > On 14.1.2011, at 15.00, ext Rich Tibbett wrote: > >> On Fri, Jan 14, 2011 at 12:06 PM, Anssi Kostiainen <anssi.kostiainen@nokia.com> wrote: >> >> While reading the vCard specs I found a minor bug in my example: the lines should be terminated with CRLF (\r\n).

To refer to vCard 3.0 you can use [RFC2426]. AFAIK vCard 3.0 is a superset of the 2.1, so perhaps we can just reference the 3.0. > > Daniel was asking about the synchronization: vCard 4.0 includes mechanisms to make the sync process more robust [2].
