Registration of text/directory MIME type EMAIL parameter HOME



In accordance with RFC 2425 Section 13, I would like to request that
RFC2426 (vCard MIME Directory Profile) be revised to incorporate two new
parameters for type EMAIL.  Also, I would like to request that these two
new parameters be IANA registered values.  The new parameters are WORK and
HOME.  These parameters will allow for the specification of where the user
is likly to recieve an email message sent to a designated address.  Most
vCard implementations already support these parameter values.

----------

Parameter name: "WORK"

Parameter purpose: to specify that an electronic mail address is a user's
 work (business) account.

Parameter values: A text value of "work"

Parameter special notes (optional):  Usage and purpose mirrors that of the
work
 parameter used with the TEL and ADR text/directory MIME types.
   	Type example:

        EMAIL;TYPE=internet,work:jdoe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

      Intended usage:   COMMON usage.

----------

Parameter name: "HOME"

Parameter purpose: to specify that an electronic mail address is a user's
 home (personal) account.

Parameter values: A text value of "home"

Parameter special notes (optional):  Usage and purpose mirrors that of the
work
 parameter used with the TEL and ADR text/directory MIME types.
   	Type example:

        EMAIL;TYPE=internet,work:jdoe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

       Intended usage:   COMMON usage.
