Perhaps some of this has been discussed to death already, somewhere, and 
if so please forgive me.  Here are a few questions that come to mind as 
I read this spec.

Why are address elements grouped by type rather than by address?  (IE, 
why is it contact/postalcode/home rather than contact/home/postalcode?

Why are email addresses listed under Internet (/contact/internet/email) 
but IM and web based contact information is not?

Did you consider personal/business/etc. email addresses?  Classifying my 
email addresses this way is at least as important to me as classifying 
my telephone numbers this way.

Frank.
