Type name: IMPP

   Type purpose: To specify the URI for instant messaging and presence
   protocol communication with the object the vCard represents.

Type encoding: 8bit

   Type value: A single URI.  The type of the URI indicates the protocol
   that can be used for this contact.

   Type special notes: The type can include the type parameter "TYPE" to
   specify an intended use for the URI.  The TYPE parameter values can
   include:

      An indication of the type of communication for which this URI is
      appropriate.  This can be a value of PERSONAL or BUSINESS.

      An indication of the location of a device associated with this
      URI.  Values can be HOME, WORK, or MOBILE.

      The value PREF indicates this is a preferred address and has the
      same semantics as the PREF value in a TEL type.

Intended usage: COMMON

Thanks, Cullen. As per RFC 2425, we'll "discuss" this for two weeks and then consider sending it to IANA. Who knows what they'll do with it then, since they haven't established the assignment directory for this yet...
