Internet-Draft User Agent Capability Presence Status January 2006
1. Introduction
Interoperation of instant messaging and presence systems has been
defined in IMPP Working Group (WG).The WG has defined "A model for
Presence and Instant Messaging" in RFC2778 [2] and also requirements
for protocols implementing such a system in RFC2779 [3]. Common
presence (CPP) [5] and common profile for instant messaging (CPIM)
[14] defines common operations and formats which all presence and
instant messaging services must agree upon so that basic
interoperability would be possible. The actual base format for the
presence is defined in the Presence Information Document Format
(PIDF) [4]. The PIDF has been designed to reduce the need for
gatewaying and to allow end-to-end security of presence data. It has
taken a very minimalistic approach to support such operations. In
order to make the PIDF usable by different presence applications,
these applications usually must extend the basic PIDF by standard XML
mechanisms as defined in PIDF [4].
The aim of this memo is to introduce a SIP specific extension
mechanism to the PIDF that conveys the same SIP media feature tags as
described in RFC3840 [6]. With this extension presence applications
based on SIP can have richer and more usable presence data compared
to the baseline PIDF.
1.1. Motivation
The PIDF [4] defines a <contact> element which may appear once inside
every <tuple> element. The content of the <contact> element encodes
the CONTACT ADDRESS and CONTACT MEANS as defined in RFC2778 [2]. The
<contact> element is defined to be a URI of any scheme. In some
implementations the URI scheme can uniquely identify the service the
tuple intends to describe (e.g. im: URI scheme usually represents
Instant Messaging service). However, this may not be the case in all
implementations. For example in SIP, a SIP URI scheme can represent
different kinds of services. A SIP URI scheme can be used to contact
voice services, video services, or messaging services. If it is not
known by other means, it might be hard for applications processing
the presence information document containing only a SIP URI contact
addresses to know what particular service the tuple intends to
describe. Also watchers receiving presence information would
probably benefit for getting more descriptive information about what
particular communication means or services are supported by the
presentity.
RFC3840 [6] defines a set of extensions which allow callees to
express preferences about request handling in SIP servers. The same
information can provide value also to presence watchers so that they
can make more rational decisions on how a presentity should be
Lonnfors & Kiss Expires July 24, 2006 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft User Agent Capability Presence Status January 2006
contacted if a presence document contained similar information.
1.2. Scope
This document defines extensions to the PIDF which enables presence
implementations based on SIP to utilize similar information in a
presence information document as what RFC3840 [6] defines.
This extension does not replace media negotiation mechanisms defined
for SIP (e.g. SDP [18]). This extension is only aimed for
presentities to give watchers hints about the presentity's
preferences, willingness and capabilities to communicate before
watchers initiate a communication with the presentity.
2. Conventions
In this document, the key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED",
"SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY",
and "OPTIONAL" are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [1] and
indicate requirement levels for compliant implementations.
This memo makes use of the vocabulary defined in RFC2778 [2], and in
RFC3863 [4].
3. Extension for "Indicating User Agent Capabilities in the Session
Initiation Protocol (SIP)" in PIDF documents
This section presents all extension documents, their elements, their
values, and semantics. This section also describes how this
extension can be further extended.
This extension is intended to be used within a PIDF [4] and that
particular usage is described here. This extension may also be used
with other XML documents if appropriate.
3.1. Overview of operation
This document defines how the features presented in RFC3840 [6] can
be provided as a part of presence data. Additionally, this memo
includes the "type" feature tag [7], "message" media type feature tag
[19] and the "language" feature tag [8] definitions. Bringing these
features in the PIDF means mapping them to an XML formatted
structure.
The presence data model [11] defines presence data consisting of
three types of data elements: person, service, and device. This memo
Lonnfors & Kiss Expires July 24, 2006 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft User Agent Capability Presence Status January 2006
follows this model so that one XML document is defined to describe
device capabilities and another one to describe service capabilities.
The namespace URIs for elements defined by this document are URNs
using the namespace identifier 'ietf' defined by RFC2648 [9] and
extended by RFC3688 [10].
When these extension namespaces are congregated with the PIDF
document, the combined document MUST follow the same general
formatting rules as specified in Section 4.1 of the RFC3863 [4].
3.2. Service capability element
Elements belonging to service capabilities are used to describe
characteristics of a service. All elements defined in this section
describe dynamic data about the service. This element SHOULD be

registry can be used as a value of an extension element.
3.2.17. <extensions> element
The <extensions> element is a list of SIP extensions (each of which
is defined by an option-tag registered with IANA) that are understood
by the service. Understood, in this context, means that the option
tag would be included in a Supported header field in a request as
defined in RFC3840 [6].
The <extensions> element can contain two elements: <supported> and

table can be used as a value of an extension element.
3.2.18. <schemes> element
The <schemes> element provides the set of URI schemes that are
supported by a service. Supported implies, for example, that the
service would know how to handle a URI of that scheme in the Contact
header field of a redirect response as defined in [6].
The <schemes> element can contain two elements: <supported> and
<notsupported>. All schemes that are supported by the service are
listed under <supported> element and all schemes that are not
supported by the service are listed under <notsupported> element.
<supported> and <notsupported> elements can contain any number of <s>
elements which can be used to describe individual schemes supported
by the service.
3.2.18.1. <s> element
The <s> element is of string type and it is used to describe
individual scheme supported by the service. Values that can be used
here are scheme names that are registered to IANA URI scheme
registry.

The <actor> element indicates the type of entity that is available at
this URI as defined in RFC3840 [6].
The <actor> element can contain two elements: <supported> and
<notsupported>. All actor types that are supported by the service
are listed under <supported> element and all actor types that are not
supported by the service are listed under <notsupported> element.
The <supported> and <notsupported> elements can contain <principal>,
<attendant>, <msg-taker>, and <information> elements followed by any
number of optional extension elements from other namespaces.
The semantics of these elements are defined in RFC3840 [6] as:
Lonnfors & Kiss Expires July 24, 2006 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft User Agent Capability Presence Status January 2006
o <principal>: The service provides communication with the principal
that is associated with the service. Often this will be a
specific human being, but it can be an automata (for example, when
calling a voice portal).
o <attendant>: The service provides communication with an automata
or person that will act as an intermediary in contacting the
principal associated with the service, or a substitute.
o <msg-taker>: The service provides communication with an automata
or person that will take messages and deliver them to the
principal.
o <information>: The service provides communication with an automata
or person that will provide information about the principal.
Any value that is registered with IANA for the SIP Media Feature Tag
Registration Tree as a sip.class media feature tag can be used as a
value of an extension element. If the appropriate value is not
registered it SHOULD be registed as defined in RFC3840 [6].
3.2.20. <isfocus> element
The <isfocus> element indicates that the service is a conference
server, also known as a focus as defined in RFC3840 [6].
The <isfocus> element is of boolean type and does not have any
attributes.

elements which can be used to describe individual languages supported
by the service.
3.2.21.1. <l> element
The <l> element is of string type and it is used to describe
individual language supported by the service. Values that can be
used here are language names that are registered to IANA as per
Lonnfors & Kiss Expires July 24, 2006 [Page 13]
Internet-Draft User Agent Capability Presence Status January 2006
RFC2987 [8].
3.3. Device capability element
Elements belonging to device capabilities are used to describe the
dynamic status of a device [11]. This element SHOULD be located in
the PIDF document as a child element of
urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:data-model namespace <device> element
[11].
Namespace identifier for this element is urn:
ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:caps.

element has to be always present. This element can contain following
elements: <mobility>, <priority>, and <description> followed by any
number of optional extension elements from other namespaces.
A <devcaps> element does not have any attributes.
3.3.2. <mobility> element
The <mobility> element indicates whether the device is fixed (meaning
that it is associated with a fixed point of contact with the
network), or mobile (meaning that it is not associated with a fixed
point of contact). Note that cordless phones are fixed, not mobile,
based on this definition as defined in RFC3840 [6].
The <mobility> element can contain two elements: <supported> and
<notsupported>. All mobility modes that are supported by the device
are listed under <supported> element and all mobility modes that are
not supported by the device are listed under <notsupported> element.

willing to handle.
The <priority> element can contain two elements: <supported> and
<notsupported>. All priority values that are supported by the device
are listed under <supported> element and all priority values that are
not supported by the device are listed under <notsupported> element.
The <supported> and <notsupported> elements can contain any number of
<lowerthan>, <higherthan>, <equals> and <range> elements followed by
any number of optional extension elements from other namespaces.
3.3.3.1. <lowerthan> element
The <lowerthan> element has a single attribute called "maxvalue".
The "maxvalue" attribute is used to give the highest priority value
that the device is willing to support. All values equal and below
that value are supported.
3.3.3.2. <higherthan> element
The <higherthan> element has a single attribute called "minvalue".
The "minvalue" attribute is used to give the lowest priority value
that the device is willing to support. All values equal and above
that value are supported.
3.3.3.3. <equals> element
The <equals> element is used to indicate the exact priority value
that the device is willing to handle. The <equals> element has a
single attribute called "value". Value of the "value" attribute is
used to indicate the exact supported priority value.
3.3.3.4. <range> element
The <range> element is used to indicate the priority range that the
device is willing to handle. The <range> element has two attributes
called "min" and "max". Value of the "min" attribute indicates
lowest priority value supported by the device and the value of the
"max" attribute indicates the highest priority value supported by the
device.

3.3.4. <description> element
The <description> element provides a textual description of the
device as defined in RFC3840 [6].
The <description> element is of string type and does not have any
attributes.
4. Usage guidelines
In RFC3840 [6] it is recommended that a UA provides complete
information in its contact predicate. However, it may be that
presentity is not willing to publish presence information which would
be consistent with actual device or service capabilities (e.g.
presentity may not want to indicate that he/she supports voice when
the service actually is able to support it). Also authorization
rules or policies in presence server may limit or modify the
published presence information in a way that all published presence
information may not end up to all possible watchers.
It is RECOMMENTED that Presence User Agents (PUAs) using this
extension provide as complete presence information as they can. If
the PUA is publishing sensitive information using this extension, it
SHOULD obtain a permission from a user. PUAs can indicate all the
explicitly supported capabilities using the <supported> element and
all the explicitly not supported capabilities using the
<notsupported> element, where appropriate.
However, it is not mandated that this presence information should be
consistent with actual device capabilities. Also, watchers should
not expect that the presence information represented by this
extension fully represents the actual presentity's device
capabilities.

8. Security Considerations
All security considerations specified in RFC3859 [5] and in RFC3863
[4] apply to this document. Compared to PIDF [4] this presence
document format may reveal additional information about user's
service and device capabilities. Thus, the PUA SHOULD always obtain
permission from the user when publishing sensitive information using
this extension.
Because presence is very privacy-sensitive information, the transport
protocol for the presence information SHOULD have capabilities to
protect protocol messages from possible threats, such as
eavesdropping, corruption, tamper and replay attacks. If such
security measures are not used, eavesdroppers can learn sensitive
information about the user. It may be possible for a third party to
modify the user's presence information. This can lead to a situation
that users receiving presentity's presence information can take
incorrect actions based on false information. The protocols SHOULD
be able to use security mechanisms which are standardized or being
standardized in IETF. However, it depends on the actual transport
protocols which security mechanisms should be used, and it is beyond
the scope of this memo.
