I've implemented it. It works pretty well, and I haven't had any

for this). Maybe these two could be made optional?
How about recommended (SHOULD include)? :)
That's fine for me :)
Usually, clients don't need instant notification for changes to
the profile, that's why it's not really absolutely necessary to
use PEP there. Of course, it'd simplify server implementations, so
it's definitely something to look into.
Yes, there is that issue, too -- do people need notifications about
profiles or is that data more static? If static, why use PEP?
Well, you wouldn't need any special cases for vCards on the server
any more. Just implement PEP, and you're done for 90% of the non-
messaging stuff used for IM.
If the client doesn't announce that it'd like to get notified of
changes to that PEP node, it wouldn't receive unnecessary data, but
could still request the info explicitly, which is right how vCards
work right now.
