[Ietf-carddav] Carddav draft examples and XML elements

[Vinubalaji Gopal]

Hi
   I am responsible for implementing carddav in Cosmo and had a few corrections on the carddav draft:

A filter in CardDav is defined as (similar to the filter XML definition
in the caldav draft).
<!ELEMENT filter comp-filter>


But in Carddav there is no real component other than VCARD. The
"component" XML elements are kept for future use and for compatibility
with caldav. If my interpretation is right, the examples in the draft does not
use the right XML definitions:


http://ietfreport.isoc.org/idref/draft-daboo-carddav/#page-19


REPORT /home/bernard/addressbook/ HTTP/1.1 
   Host: adbk.example.com
   Depth: 1
   Content-Type: text/xml; charset="utf-8"
   Content-Length: xxxx

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
...
     <C:filter>
       <C:prop-filter name="NICKNAME">
         <C:text-match caseless="yes"
                         match-type="equals">
         me
         </C:text-match>
       </C:prop-filter>
     </C:filter>
   </C:adbk-query>



This example should be modified to have <C:comp-filter> with an optional name="VCARD", meaning that 
the example should have been like:

     <C:filter>
       <C:comp-filter>
         <C:prop-filter name="NICKNAME">
           <C:text-match caseless="yes"
                           match-type="equals">
             me
           </C:text-match>
         </C:prop-filter>
       </C:comp-filter>
     </C:filter>
