Brian,
first of all thanks for the feedback.

I do have a few concerns about the DRAFT recommendation and some
suggestions on fixes.
The example in the document has the following:
IMPP;TYPE=personal,pref:im:alice(_at_)example(_dot_)com
The use of the : (Colon) as a separator should only be used between
the property and the value. Older applications that currently parse
vCards are probably "splitting" on the first : (colon) and in this
instance would extract a value of "im:alice(_at_)example(_dot_)com" when in fact
this is not the case. Older vCard parsers would have to be updated to
prevent breaking. This could be avoided by simply using only one :
(colon) to separate the property from the value and the example be
changed to something like:
IMPP;TYPE=personal,pref;PP=im:alice(_at_)example(_dot_)com
What this also allows is the ability to make PP extensible. At the
moment this is an enumerated list of values. This could be changed to
an enumerated list plus, "iana-token / x-name;"
You say a parser that splits at the first colon would *incorrectly*
extract a value of "im:alice(_at_)example(_dot_)com". Well, that *is* the IMPP URI,
so what exactly is the problem? (Note that the "im" URI scheme is
defined <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3860#page-10>).
