[Apologies if this has been covered already but just noticed my  subscription to this list was terminated!]

Some comments/questions on "vCard XML Schema" [1].

- A this is a RelaxNG Schema, the title should be renamed to reduce confusion with any "XML Schema" representation

- is there an XML Scheme version planned?

- why is the "type" of the element content contained in the content model. eg <text>...</text>
(this seems to make it more verbose)

- was the <type> element considered as an attribute of the parent element? (less verbosity)



Cheers...  Renato Iannella
