Neither do I.  This draft was discussed at the Amsterdam IETF at a BOF
led by Dave Crocker.  After the BOF, I volunteered to try and do better
using SGML.  A preliminary spec for "SGML-based Hirearchical Attribute-
Value Encoding" (SHAVE) exists, with a chapter on SGML-based Personal
Contact Information (SPCI).  I'm trying to get this to a state where it
is fit for public consumption - hopefully this week.  I think it is relevant
to this discussion.
