Section 5.6 says:

type-param = "TYPE=" type-value *("," type-value)

It should say:

type-param =  "TYPE=" type-value *("," type-value)
type-param =/ "TYPE=" DQUOTE type-value *("," type-value) DQUOTE

Notes:

Section 6.4.1 states that TYPE parameter values can be specified
as a parameter list (e.g., TYPE=text;TYPE=voice) or as a value list (e.g.,
TYPE="text,voice").

Either the description is right (and the ABNF should be corrected), or the ABNF is right, and the description and examples in Sections 6.4.1 and 8 should be fixed.

Value lists in vCard 3.0 did not use quotes (e.g "TYPE=dom,postal" in Section 3.3.1 of RFC 2426). If the ABNF is fixed this would be a significant change from RFC 2426 syntax.
