The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Mapping the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) to Common Presence and Instant Messaging (CPIM) ' <draft-ietf-xmpp-cpim-05.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Scott Hollenbeck and Ted Hardie. Technical Summary The "Mapping XMPP to CPIM" document gives instructions for moving instant messages and presence information between an XMPP system and a CPIM compatible system. It lays out specific instructions for translating addresses between the systems (essentially, escaping characters that don't appear in the other system), translating between XMPP elements and attributes and CPIM headers and PIDF objects, adding appropriate syntax when such is not present, and describing how to do subscription service between the two systems. There are internationalization concerns in this document, especially because XMPP allows UTF-8 in its identifiers and certain characters are allowed in CPIM addresses that are not allowed in XMPP identifiers. They seem to be addressed well. Security concerns are mostly those out of the base spec and out of the end-to-end encryption spec. Working Group Summary The working group has done a reasonable amount of review of this document. There is little controversial in this document, so consensus was relatively straightforward. Protocol Quality Pete Resnick and Lisa Dusseault reviewed this document for the IESG. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
