                Protocol-Specific Profiles for JSContact
                draft-ietf-calext-jscontact-profiles-14

Abstract

   This document defines JSContact profiles, an IANA registry for named
   subsets of JSContact elements.  It aims to facilitate using JSContact
   in context of contact data exchange protocols or other use cases, in
   which supporting all JSContact semantics might be inappropriate.

1.  Notational Conventions

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
   14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.

   The ABNF definitions in this document use the notations of [RFC5234].
   ABNF rules not defined in this document are defined in [RFC5234]
   (such as the ABNF for DIGIT).

2.  Introduction

   The JSContact [RFC9553] contact card data model and format are
   designed for use in address book applications and directory services.
   Intended as an alternative to the prevalent vCard [RFC6350] data
   format, it covers vCard core semantics and extensions, and provides a
   rich model for personal names, postal addresses and localization.
   All JSContact elements are relevant for some contact card use case
   and, similar to vCard, implementations are expected to support these
   elements when exchanging contact card information using protocols
   such as CardDAV [RFC6352] and JMAP for Contacts [RFC9610].

RFC draft-ietf-calext-jsconJSContactiProfiles              February 2026


   In contrast, other protocols and document specifications might
   require exchanging _some_ contact card information, but not all of
   what JSContact provides.  Section 1.7.4 of [RFC9553] outlines how
   JSContact implementations may ignore unknown JSContact elements, but
   this only applies to future extensions of [RFC9553]; they are still
   expected to implement all elements of the core specification.  Also,
   the extensibility of JSContact and the requirement to preserve
   arbitrary contact elements might not be adequate for some protocols.

   To make use of JSContact under these circumstances, this document
   defines a new IANA registry for JSContact that allows for registering
   named subsets of JSContact elements.  These subsets are referred to
   as "JSContact profiles" and are meant to bring the following
   benefits:

   *  Protocol designers might be encouraged to use JSContact, rather
      than coming up with their own contacts format.  This facilitates
      cross-protocol data exchange and migration.

   *  Different protocols use the same IANA registry to express which
      JSContact elements they support.  This facilitates understanding
      their commonalities and reusing existing profiles.

   *  A central registry provides implementors of JSContact libraries
      with a consistent format documenting which profile supports what
      elements, rather than having to look up that information from
      possibly distinctly organized internet drafts.

   This document is organized as follows: Section 3 defines JSContact
   profiles, Section 4 summarizes the relevant information for IANA to
   establish the JSContact Profiles registry, Appendix A illustrates
   JSContact profiles by example.

3.  JSContact Profiles

   A JSContact profile is a named and versioned set of JSContact
   elements, such as properties, value types and values.  The JSContact
   elements MUST be registered in the IANA JSContact registry
   [IANA.jscontact].  A profile MAY define additional restrictions for
   these elements as outlined in Section 3.3 but a profile MUST NOT
   loosen restrictions.  This document creates an IANA registry for
   JSContact profiles (see Section 4).

RFC draft-ietf-calext-jsconJSContactiProfiles              February 2026


   A JSContact object complies with a profile if all its properties are
   in the set of properties defined by that profile and the property
   values comply with the profile restrictions for that property.  A
   JSContact object MAY comply with multiple profiles.  Accordingly,
   this document does not specify any means for JSContact data to
   communicate which profiles it complies with, e.g. it does not define
   a "profile" property for the Card object.

   All properties and values of a JSContact object that complies with a
   profile MUST also be valid (Section 1.7 of [RFC9553]).  Handling
   JSContact data that is valid but that does not comply with the
   expected profile is protocol-specific.  This document deliberately
   does not define such non-compliant data as _invalid_. Profile
   designers decide on their own strategies for handling non-compliant
   data, one of which may be to reject it as invalid.  JSContact data
   that complies with a profile may still not be valid in the context of
   that protocol; the protocol specification MAY define additional
   restrictions that a profile cannot express.

   Section 3.1 defines how to name a JSContact profile, Section 3.2
   defines how to version it, Section 3.3 defines how to specify the
   properties supported by that profile.

3.1.  Profile Name

   A JSContact profile has a unique name.  The name MUST only contain
   ASCII lowercase alphabetic and numeric characters, optionally
   separated by hyphens.  It MUST start with an alphabetic character and
   it MUST be of at least 1 character and at most 255 characters in
   size.  Formally, it MUST be a valid "profile-name" defined in
   Figure 1.

   profile-name = lalpha *( ["-"] lalpha / DIGIT )
                  ; at most 255 octets in size

   lalpha       = %x61-7A ; a-z

               Figure 1: ABNF Rule for JSContact Profile Name

3.2.  Profile Version

   A JSContact profile has a current version, each profile is versioned
   independently.  The version MUST be a positive integer and it MUST
   increase whenever the profile properties (Section 3.3) change.  The
   initial version value is 1.

RFC draft-ietf-calext-jsconJSContactiProfiles              February 2026


3.3.  Profile Properties

   A profile defines a list of property entries that together determine
   the set of properties supported by that profile, as described in
   Section 3.4.  The list MUST NOT be empty.

   Each property entry consists of the following elements:

   Property Name:  This is the name of the JSContact property that this
      entry refers to.  This MUST be a property name registered in the
      "JSContact Properties" registry.  A property name MAY occur
      multiple times in the property entry list if the profile-specific
      restrictions for that property can not be expressed with a single
      entry, but such multiple entries MUST NOT result in conflicting
      restrictions for the same property.  This field MUST NOT be empty.

   Property Context:  This is a comma-separated list of JSContact object
      types that support this property in this profile.  Each of these
      types MUST also be listed in the property contexts for this
      property in the "JSContact Properties" registry, but a profile MAY
      only support the property in a subset of these contexts.  This
      field MUST NOT be empty.

   Restricted Attributes:  This restricts the attributes of the
      property.  This specification only defines how to restrict the
      attributes such that a property becomes mandatory in the listed
      property contexts, despite the property originally being defined
      to be optional in the same contexts.  The verbatim value
      "mandatory" (without quotes) indicates that it is mandatory in
      this profile, the absence of any value indicates that this profile
      does not restrict the property attributes of the original
      definition.

   Restricted Property Type:  This restricts the property value type in
      the listed property contexts, even though the property was
      originally defined with a less restrictive type definition.  If
      set, the original value type MUST contain some type signature in
      form "A|B" and the restricted value type MUST resemble the
      original except that some of the original "A|B" forms now only
      allow a subset of the original choices.  Restricted property types
      MUST NOT redefine the "defaultType" attribute [RFC9553]
      (Section 1.3.3), the rules when to set the "@type" property
      [RFC9553] (Section 1.3.4) of the original type definition still
      apply.

      For example, one might want to restrict the "date" property of the
      Anniversary object to only allow partial dates as values.  To do
      so, the original value type "PartialDate|Timestamp" can be



Stepanek & Loffredo      Expires 22 August 2026                 [Page 5]

RFC draft-ietf-calext-jsconJSContactiProfiles              February 2026


      restricted to "PartialDate".  Note that the original value type
      need not be exactly in form "A|B".  For example, the type
      signature "Id[A|B|C]" could be restricted to any of "Id[A|B]",
      "Id[A|C]", "Id[B|C]", "Id[A]", "Id[B]", "Id[C]", and the type
      signature "(A|B)[]" to one of "A[]" or "B[]".

   Restricted Enum Values:  This restricts the enumerated values defined
      for this property to a subset of those values.  The values MUST be
      listed in the "JSContact Enum Values" registry for this property
      and context.  Allowed values are separated by comma; the absence
      of any value indicates that all enumerated values are allowed.  A
      profile MAY exclude the default enumerated value of a property, in
      which case all instances of the object MUST have this property set
      to one of the allowed values.

   Restricted PatchObject:  This restricts the PatchObject value of this
      property such that each JSON Pointer key in the PatchObject MUST
      consist of exactly one JSON Pointer reference token [RFC6901]
      (Section 3).  For example, with this restriction the
      "localizations" property of the Card object can only patch
      properties of the Card object by replacing their values entirely.
      The verbatim value "yes" (without quotes) indicates that this
      profile restricts PatchObject keys to a single token; the absence
      of any value indicates that it does not restrict them.  This MUST
      NOT be set to "yes" if the property value type is not a
      PatchObject.

   All profiles MUST support "@type" and "version", and therefore
   profiles MUST NOT include entries for these properties.

3.4.  Supported Properties

   The supported properties of a JSContact profile are determined by the
   profile's property entries and the contents of the IANA "JSContact
   Properties" registry, which is here referred to as "IANA-registered
   properties" for short.  The "version" property of the Card object and
   the "@type" property of any object type are always supported.

   A Card object complies with the profile if all its properties are
   part of the supported properties and all property values are valid
   according to the restrictions defined in the applicable property
   entries.  A PatchObject MUST NOT patch properties that are not
   supported in that profile.

   The following describes the steps to determine the supported
   properties:

RFC draft-ietf-calext-jsconJSContactiProfiles              February 2026


   1.  Initialize the set with all properties of the Card object for
       which a property entry contains "Card" in the Property Context of
       the profile.  If no such entry exists then initialize the set
       with all IANA-registered properties of the Card object.

   2.  For every property in the set having either an object type as
       value type, or a list or map or union of object types, add all
       properties for which a property entry contains those object types
       in the Property Context of the profile.  If no such property
       entry exists then add all IANA-registered properties for the
       object types.

   3.  Repeat the previous step until all object types that are value
       types of properties in the set have been considered.

   Appendix A.4 describes how to determine the supported properties of
   the example profile in Appendix A.

4.  IANA Considerations

4.1.  Creation of the JSContact Profile Registry

   IANA will add the "JSContact Profile" registry to the "JSContact"
   registry group.  The purpose of this new registry is to register
   profiles for JSContact data.  The registry policy to add an entry to
   this registry is "Specification Required", this applies to defining a
   new profile name or version.  The registry policy to update an
   existing profile is "Expert Review", this applies to updating the
   references of an entry.  The change controller is IETF.

   An entry in this registry consists of the following assignments, all
   of which MUST be set:

   Name:
      This is the name of the profile.  This field is immutable after
      creation.  The name MUST be unique among all registered profiles
      and MUST comply with the definitions in Section 3.1.

   Version:
      This is the version number of the profile.  This field is
      immutable after creation.  It MUST comply with the definitions in
      Section 3.2.

   Reference:
      This refers to the specifications of the protocol or use case for
      which this profile applies.  The reference MUST include the
      section number or name that defines or updates the property
      entries for this profile, as defined in Section 3.3.



Stepanek & Loffredo      Expires 22 August 2026                 [Page 7]

RFC draft-ietf-calext-jsconJSContactiProfiles              February 2026


   Designated experts assert that all proposed assignments are valid
   according to the definitions in this document, e.g. they check that
   the profile name is unique, that the entries in the profile entries
   are syntactically valid, that only known property names are referred
   to, that type restrictions do not incorrectly alter the type of a
   property, and that the version number increases.  On the other hand,
   designated experts do not decide the contents of the profile as long
   as the assignments are valid.

   The decision if to register a new profile name or instead register a
   new version for an existing profile depends on the scope of the
   proposed profile:

   A new profile name is recommended if the profile is introduced in
   context of an application or protocol for which no JSContact profile
   already is registered, or if the proposed profile properties or
   restrictions substantially differ from existing profiles for that
   context.  A new version instead is applicable if the profile context
   does not change and multiple implementations of the current profile
   also will support the new version.  The profile version of the new
   entry for an already registered profile by that name has to be higher
   than the last registered version for that profile.  Existing registry
   entries are preserved.

4.2.  Initial Contents of the JSContact Profile Registry

   This document does not define any initial contents for the newly
   created registries.

5.  Security Considerations

   This document does not provide new security considerations.  The
   security considerations of Section 4 of [RFC9553] apply.

Appendix A.  Example Profile

   This section provides an example for a JSContact profile and
   illustrates how a JSContact Card complies with that profile.

   The properties of that example profile are defined in Appendix A.1.
   This profile describes contact cards that can only contain:

   *  Contact cards for individuals and organizations, but no other
      kinds such as groups or devices.

   *  Full postal address lines, but no address components or any other
      property of the Address object type.

   *  Full names and name components, but no other properties of the
      Name object type.

   *  Email addresses, where all properties of the EmailAddress object
      are supported.

   *  Anniversaries for birthdays, and only for dates, not datetimes.

   *  Localizations, with the restriction that the PatchObject must only
      patch properties of the Card object.

   An example for JSContact data that complies with that profile is
   shown in Appendix A.2.  An example for its fictive IANA registration
   is shown in Appendix A.3.  This profile is just for illustration, it
   is not registered at IANA.  Appendix A.4 describes how to determine
   the supported properties for that profile.

   The following entries define properties of that profile.  Entry
   elements with empty values are omitted:

   Property Name  addresses
   Property Context  Card

   Property Name  anniversaries

   Note that:

   *  The Address, Card, Name, and NameComponent object values only
      contain properties for which a property entry exists in the
      profile.

   *  The EmailAddress object contains the "address" property.  This is
      allowed because the profile contains a property entry for the
      "emails" property of the Card object, but it does not define
      entries for the EmailAddress object properties.  Consequently, all
      properties of the EmailAddress object can be set.

   *  The "full" property of the Address object is set.  It is the only
      property allowed to be set in that profile for Address, and the
      "full" property is mandatory for this profile.

   *  The "kind" property of the NameComponent objects is set to
      "surname" and "given", respectively.  Since the profile does not
      restrict the enumerated values of this property, all valid
      NameComponent "kind" property values are supported.

   *  The "kind" property of the Card object is not set.  The profile
      restricts the enumerated values of this property to "individual"
      and "org".  Since "individual" is the default value for this
      property, there is no need to set it.

   *  The "date" property of the Anniversary object is in this profile
      restricted to be of type PartialDate.  Because PartialDate is the
      default type for this property, there is no need to the set the
      "@type" property of the PartialDate object.

A.3.  IANA Registry Example

   The following assignments would be registered at IANA if this were a
   real profile:

   Name:
      jscontact-simple-example

   Version:
      1

   Reference:
      This document, Appendix A.1

   See Section 4 for the exact meaning of each registry item.

A.4.  Supported Properties Example

   The following illustrates how to determine the supported properties
   of the example profile (Appendix A), according to the steps defined
   in Section 3.4:

   1.  We initialize the set of supported properties with all profile
       properties for which the property context includes the "Card"
       object.  The set now includes the properties:

       *  Card.addresses

       *  Card.anniversaries

       *  Card.emails

       *  Card.kind

       *  Card.localizations

       *  Card.name

   2.  Next, we determine which of the properties in the current set
       have an object type as value type.  These are the "Card.address",
       "Card.anniversaries", "Card.emails" and "Card.name" properties,
       so we need to inspect the object types "Address", "Anniversary",
       "EmailAddress" and "Name".

   3.  For the "Address" object type, the profile has an entry for the
       "full" property which contains the "Address" object in the
       Property Context, so we add that and only that to the set of
       supported properties.  It now contains:

       *  Address.full

       *  Card.addresses

       *  Card.emails

       *  Card.kind

       *  Card.localizations

       *  Card.name

       The value type of the "Address.full" property is not an object
       type, so we need not consider a new object type to inspect.  The
       remaining object types to inspect are the "Anniversary",
       "EmailAddress" and "Name" objects.

   4.  For the "Anniversary" object type, the profile explicitly lists
       the "kind" and "date" properties, so we add them to the set of
       supported properties.  It now contains:




Stepanek & Loffredo      Expires 22 August 2026                [Page 14]

RFC draft-ietf-calext-jsconJSContactiProfiles              February 2026


       *  Address.full

       *  Anniversary.date

       *  Anniversary.kind

       *  Card.addresses

       *  Card.emails

       *  Card.kind

       *  Card.localizations

       *  Card.name

       The newly added Anniversary.date property has object value type
       "PartialDate", so we add that to the list of object types to
       inspect.  The entry restricts the type of that property to only
       be of that type, so we do not add the object value type
       "Timestamp".  The remaining object types to inspect are the
       "EmailAddress", "Name" and "PartialDate" objects.

   5.  For the "PartialDate" object type, the profile does not contain
       any entry where the Property Context contains the "PartialDate"
       object.  Instead, we add properties of the "JSContact Properties"
       registry where the property context includes the "PartialDate"
       object.  The set of supported properties now contains:

       *  Address.full

       *  Anniversary.date

       *  Anniversary.kind

       *  Card.addresses

       *  Card.emails

       *  Card.kind

       *  Card.localizations

       *  Card.name

       *  PartialDate.calendarScale

       *  PartialDate.day

RFC draft-ietf-calext-jsconJSContactiProfiles              February 2026


       *  PartialDate.month

       *  PartialDate.year

       None of the newly added properties have object value types.  The
       remaining object types to inspect are the "EmailAddress" and
       "Name" objects.

   6.  For the "EmailAddress" object type, the profile does not contain
       any entry where the Property Context contains the "EmailAddress"
       object.  Instead, we add properties of the "JSContact Properties"
       registry where the property context includes the "EmailAddress"
       object.  The set of supported properties now contains:

       *  Address.full

       *  Anniversary.date

       *  Anniversary.kind

       *  Card.addresses

       *  Card.emails

       *  Card.kind

       *  Card.localizations

       *  Card.name

       *  EmailAddress.address

       *  EmailAddress.contexts

       *  EmailAddress.label

       *  EmailAddress.pref

       *  PartialDate.calendarScale

       *  PartialDate.day

       *  PartialDate.month

       *  PartialDate.year

       None of the newly added properties have object value types.  The
       remaining object type to inspect is the "Name" object.

   7.  For the "Name" object type, the profile explicitly lists the
       "components" and "full" properties, so we add them to the set of
       supported properties.  It now contains:

       *  Address.full

       *  Anniversary.date

       *  Anniversary.kind

       *  Card.addresses

       *  Card.emails

       *  Card.kind

       *  Card.localizations

       *  Card.name

       *  EmailAddress.address

       *  EmailAddress.contexts

       *  EmailAddress.label

       *  EmailAddress.pref

       *  Name.full

       *  Name.components

       *  PartialDate.calendarScale

       *  PartialDate.day

       *  PartialDate.month

       *  PartialDate.year

       The newly added Name.components property has object value type
       "NameComponent", so we add that to the list of object types to
       inspect.

   8.  For the "NameComponent" object type, the profile does not
       explicitly list any property.  Instead, we add properties of the
       "JSContact Properties" registry where the property context
       includes the "NameComponent" object.  The set of supported
       properties now contains:

       *  Address.full

       *  Anniversary.date

       *  Anniversary.kind

       *  Card.addresses

       *  Card.emails

       *  Card.kind

       *  Card.localizations

       *  Card.name

       *  EmailAddress.address

       *  EmailAddress.contexts

       *  EmailAddress.label

       *  EmailAddress.pref

       *  NameComponent.kind

       *  NameComponent.phonetic

       *  NameComponent.value

       *  PartialDate.calendarScale

       *  PartialDate.day

       *  PartialDate.month

       *  PartialDate.year

       None of the newly added properties have object value types and
       there are no remaining object types to inspect.  This determines
       the set of supported properties by that profile, in addition to
       the "Card.version" and "@type" property that are always
       supported.
