The IESG has received a request from the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol WG (xmpp) to consider the following document: - 'An XMPP Sub-protocol for WebSocket' <draft-ietf-xmpp-websocket-07.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2014-07-04. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document defines a binding for the XMPP protocol over a WebSocket transport layer. A WebSocket binding for XMPP provides higher performance than the current HTTP binding for XMPP. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-xmpp-websocket/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-xmpp-websocket/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
