specs Digest, Vol 40, Issue 11

[Chris Messina]

Whatever we do in regard to discovery or profile attributes, I want to voice
my concern again that the AXSchema unnecessarily fragments the number of
profile attribute schemas.

I'm specifically pointing out that AXSchema reinvents vcard and a host of
other profile formats, which adds yet another burden for developers to map
other schema, like Portable Contacts, to the AXSchema.

This may not seem like a big deal, and perhaps it's not in the scheme of
things (no pun intended), but I would very much like to see AX 1.1 or
whatever recommend the use of PoCo-derived schema.
