Somewhere in Section 5 (Contact Search Processing), should be advice to:
* show the user the general contact query
* show the user which fields are being requested
* show the user see a preview of the resulting data

Note that this is probably RFC "should", it is definitely not an RFC "must", as a trusting agent should be allowed to skip this step.

Somewhere in the steps for Section 5 (which don't really have wonderful "steps"), should be a phase in which the user can create synthetic cards in order to make the application happy.

Having done this, one can drop the entire security consideration junk relating to URIs.
