The IESG has approved the following documents: - 'An Extensible Markup Language (XML) Patch Operations Framework Utilizing XML Path Language (XPath) Selectors ' <draft-ietf-simple-xml-patch-ops-04.txt> as a Proposed Standard - 'Presence Information Data format (PIDF) Extension for Partial Presence ' <draft-ietf-simple-partial-pidf-format-10.txt> as a Proposed Standard - 'Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) extension for Partial Notification of Presence Information ' <draft-ietf-simple-partial-notify-10.txt> as a Proposed Standard - 'Publication of Partial Presence Information ' <draft-ietf-simple-partial-publish-07.txt> as a Proposed Standard These documents are products of the SIP for Instant Messaging and Presence Leveraging Extensions Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Jon Peterson and Cullen Jennings. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-simple-partial-notify-10.txt Technical Summary This document set provides a new capability for SIMPLE: partial publications and notifications. Partial publications and notifications are updates to previous transmitted presence documents which omit redundant information, thereby saving bandwidth and processing. Both of these rely on a common partial presence document format, 'application/pidf-diff+xml'. These diffs are applied to existing presence documents through the patching technique described in the xml-patch-ops document. Working Group Summary The working group supports the advancement of these specifications, and in fact much protocol work inside and outside the IETF relies on this. Protocol Quality These documents were reviewed for the IESG by Jon Peterson. The PROTO shepherd is Robert Sparks. Apps Area review of the XML-patch-ops document was provided by Dave Crocker. Gen-ART review of XMLpatch-ops was provided by Joel Halpern. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
