Document: draft-ietf-vcarddav-carddav-09.txt Reviewer: Brian Carpenter Review Date: 2008-09-21 IETF LC End Date: 2009-09-30 IESG Telechat date: (if known) Summary: Almost ready -------- Comment: -------- This is a complex document in an area where my skills are zero. I have to take most of the details on trust, but the draft appears very complete and is well written. There's no writeup in the tracker comment log. Major issues: ------------- I would have liked to see a bit more emphasis on privacy issues in the Security Considerations. In particular, shouldn't there be a fairly strong SHOULD obligation on clients to implement TLS and use it by default? The way the text is written, a client running with no TLS and no HTTP Basic authentication appears to be allowed. On the same lines, Clients MAY choose to warn users when they create address data in a public address book, copy or move address data into public address books, or change access privileges in such a way as to expose address data to unauthenticated users. Why isn't that a SHOULD? Minor issues: None. Well, OK, idspell found "resposectively". -------------
