Abstract

   In multimedia communications, presence and instant messaging systems,
   there is a need to define Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) that
   represent services which are associated with a group of users.  One
   example is a presence list service.  If a user sends a Session
   Initiation Protocol (SIP) SUBSCRIBE message to the URI representing
   the presence list service, the server will obtain the presence of the
   users in the associated group, and provide it to the sender.  To
   facilitate definition of these services, this specification defines
   two Extensible Markup Language (XML) documents.  One document

   contains service URIs, along with their service definition and a
   reference to the associated group of users.  The second document
   contains the user lists which are referenced from the first.  Both
   documents can created and managed with the XML Configuration Access
   Protocol (XCAP).

1.  Introduction

   The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) [4] defines the SIP Uniform
   Resource Identifier (URI) as any resource to which a SIP request can
   be generated for the purposes of establishing some form of
   communications operation.  These URIs can represent users (for
   example, sip:joe@example.com).  The SIP URI can also represent a
   service, such as voicemail, conferencing, or a presence list.  A
   common pattern across such SIP services is that the service is
   defined, and associated with a URI.  In order to operate, that
   service needs to make use of a list of users (or, more generally, a
   list of resources).  When a SIP request is sent to the service URI,
   the server providing the service reads that list, and then performs
   some kind of operation against each resource on the list.  This is
   shown pictorially in Figure 1.

                                   |     |
                                    \---/ Resource

                              |
                              |
                              |
                              |
                              V

                                Figure 1

   One important example of such a service is a presence [12] list
   service.  A presence list service allows a client to generate a SIP
   SUBSCRIBE request to ask for presence information for a list of
   users.  The presence list server obtains the presence for the users
   on the list, and provides them back to the client.  A presence list
   server is a specific case of a resource list server (RLS) [15], which
   allows a client to generate a SIP SUBSCRIBE request to ask for
   notifications of SIP events for a list of resources.

   Another example of such a service is an instant conference service.
   If a client sends a SIP INVITE request to the URI representing the
   instance conference service, the conference server will create a
   conference call containing the client and the associated group of
   users.

   It is very useful for a user of these systems to define the groups of
   users or resources (generally called a resource list) separately from
   the services which access those resource lists.  Indeed, there are
   usages for resource lists even in the absence of any associated
   network-based service.  As an example, rather than using a presence
   list service, a client might generate individual SUBSCRIBE requests
   to obtain the presence of each user in a locally stored presence
   list.  In such a case, there is a need for a format for storing the
   list locally on disk.  Furthermore, the user might wish to share the
   list with friends, and desire to email it to those friends.  This
   also requires a standardized format for the resource list.

   As such, this document defines two Extensible Markup Language (XML)
   document formats.  The first is used to represent resource lists,
   independent of any particular service.  The second is used to define
   service URIs for an RLS, and to associate a resource list with the
   service URI.  This document also defines an XML Configuration Access
   Protocol (XCAP) [10] application usage for managing each of these two
   documents.

2.  Terminology

   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.

3.  Resource Lists Documents

3.1  Structure

   A resource lists document is an XML [2] document that MUST be
   well-formed and SHOULD be valid.  Resource lists documents MUST be
   based on XML 1.0 and MUST be encoded using UTF-8.  This specification
   makes use of XML namespaces for identifying resource lists documents
   and document fragments.  The namespace URI for elements defined by
   this specification is a URN [3], using the namespace identifier
   'ietf' defined by RFC 2648 [6] and extended by RFC 3688 [8].  This
   URN is:
      urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:resource-lists

   A resource lists document has the <resource-lists> element as the
   root element of the document.  This element has no attributes.  Its
   content is a sequence of one or more <list> elements, each of which
   defines a single resource list.

   Each <list> element can contain an optional "name" attribute.  This
   attribute is a handle for the list.  When present, it MUST be unique
   amongst all other <list> elements within the same parent element.

   Each <list> element is composed of an optional display name, a
   sequence of zero or more elements, each of which may be an <entry>
   element, a <list> element, an <entry-ref> element, or an <external>
   element, followed by any number of elements from other namespaces,
   for the purposes of extensibility.  The ability of a <list> element
   to contain other <list> elements means that a resource list can be
   hierarchically structured.  The <display-name> then allows for a
   human-friendly name to be associated with each level in the
   hierarchy.  An <entry> element describes a single resource, defined
   by a URI, that is part of the list.  An <entry-ref> element allows an
   entry in a document within the same XCAP root to be included by
   reference, rather than by value.  An <external> element contains a
   reference to a list stored on this or another server.

   The <entry> element describes a single resource.  The <entry> element
   has a single mandatory attribute, "uri".  This attribute is equal to
   the URI that is used to access the resource.  The resource list
   format itself does not constrain the type of URI that can be used.
   However, the service making use of the resource list may require
   specific URI schemes.  For example, RLS services will require URIs
   that represent subscribeable resources.  This includes the SIP and
   pres [16] URIs.  The "uri" attribute MUST be unique amongst all other
   "uri" attributes in <entry> elements within the same parent.
   Uniqueness is determined by case sensitive string comparisons.  As
   such, it is possible that two "uri" attributes will have the same URI

Internet-Draft             XML Resource Lists                  July 2004


   when compared using the functional equality rules defined for that
   URI scheme, but different ones when compared using case sensitive
   string comparison.

   The <entry> element contains a sequence elements that provide
   information about the entry.  Only one such element is defined at
   this time, which is <display-name>.  This element provides a UTF-8
   encoded string, meant for consumption by a human user, that describes
   the resource.  Unlike the "name" attribute of the <entry> element,
   the <display-name> has no uniqueness requirements.  The
   <display-name> element can contain the "xml:lang" attribute, which
   provides the language of the display name.  The <entry> element can
   contain other elements from other namespaces.  This is meant to
   support the inclusion of other information about the entry, such as a
   phone number or postal address.

   The <entry-ref&gt element allows an entry to be included in the list
   by reference, rather than by value.  This element is only meaningful
   when the document was obtained through XCAP.  In such a case, the
   referenced entry has to exist within the same XCAP root.  The <entry
   element has a single mandatory attribute, "ref".  The "ref" attribute
   MUST be unique amongst all other "ref" attributes in <entry-ref>
   elements within the same parent.  Uniqueness is determined by case
   sensitive string comparisons.  The content of an <entry-ref> element
   is an optional display name, followed by any number of elements from
   other namespaces, for the purposes of extensibility.  The display
   name is useful for providing a localized nickname as an alternative
   to the name defined in the <entry> to which the <entry-ref> refers.

   The content of the "ref" attribute is a relative HTTP URL [7].
   Specifically, it MUST be a relative path reference, where the base
   URL is equal to the XCAP root URI of the document in which the
   <entry-ref> appears.  This relative URL, if resolved into an absolute
   URL according to the procedures in RFC 2396, MUST resolve to an
   <entry> element within a resource-lists document.  For example, if an
   <entry> element within a specific XCAP root was identified by the
   following HTTP URL:


   http://xcap.example.com/root/resource-lists/users/bill/
   mylist/~~/resource-lists/list%5b@name=%22list1%22%5d/
   entry%5b@uri=%22sip:petri@example.com%22%5d

   If http://xcap.example.com/root is the XCAP root URI, then an
   <entry-ref> element pointing to this entry would have the form:


   <entry-ref ref="resource-lists/users/bill/

Internet-Draft             XML Resource Lists                  July 2004


   mylist/~~/resource-lists/list%5b@name=%22list1%22%5d/
   entry%5b@uri=%22sip:petri@example.com%22%5d"/>


   Note that line folding within the HTTP URL and XML attribute above
   are the purposes of readability only.  Also note that, as described
   in RFC 2396, the relative path URI does not begin with the "/".
   Since the relative URL used within the "ref" attribute must be a
   relative path URL, the "/" will never be present as the first
   character within the content of a "ref" attribute.  Since the content
   of the "ref" attribute is a valid HTTP URL, it must be escape encoded
   within the XML document.

   The <external> element is similar to the <entry-ref> element.  Like
   <entry-ref>, it is only meaningful in documents obtained from an XCAP
   server.  It too is a reference to content stored elsewhere.  However,
   it refers to an entire list, and furthermore, allows that list to be
   present on another server.  The <external> element has a single
   mandatory attribute, "anchor".  The "anchor" attribute MUST be unique
   amongst all other "anchor" attributes in <external> elements within
   the same parent.  Uniqueness is determined by case sensitive string
   comparisons.  The content of an <external> element is an optional
   <display-name> followed by any number of elements from another
   namespace, for the purposes of extensibility.  The value of the
   "anchor" attribute MUST be an absolute HTTP URL.  This URL MUST
   identify an XCAP resource, and in particular, it MUST represent a
   <list> element within a resource lists document.  The URL MUST be
   escape coded.

   For both the <entry-ref> and <external> elements, the responsibility
   of resolving their references falls upon the entity that is making
   use of the document.  When used in conjunction with XCAP, this means
   that the burden falls on the XCAP client.  If the XCAP client is a PC
   based application using the resource-lists document as a presence
   list, the references would likely be resolved upon explicit request
   by the user.  They can, of course, be resolved at any time.  If the
   XCAP client is an RLS itself, the references would be resolved when
   the RLS receives a SUBSCRIBE request for an RLS service associated
   with a resource list that contains one of these references (see
   below).  An XCAP server defined by this specification will not
   attempt to resolve the references before returning the document to
   the client.  Similarly, if, due to network errors or some other
   problem, the references cannot be resolved, the handling is specific
   to the usage of the document.  For resource lists being used by RLS
   services, the handling is discussed below.

3.4  Usage with XCAP

   Resource lists documents can be manipulated with XCAP.  This section
   provides the details necessary for such a usage.

3.4.1  Application Unique ID

   XCAP requires application usages to define a unique application usage
   ID (AUID) in either the IETF tree or a vendor tree.  This
   specification defines the "resource-lists" AUID within the IETF tree,
   via the IANA registration in Section 7.

3.4.2  MIME Type

   The MIME type for this document is "application/resource-lists+xml".

3.4.3  XML Schema

   The XML Schema for this document is defined as the sole content of
   Section 3.2.

3.4.4  Additional Constraints

   In addition to the schema, there are constraints on the values
   present in the the "name" attribute of the <list> element, the "uri"
   attribute of the <external> element, the "ref" attribute of the
   <entry-ref> element and the "anchor" attribute of the <external>
   element.  These constraints are defined in Section 3.1.  Some of
   these constraints are enforced by the XCAP server.  Those constraints
   are:
   o  The "name" attribute in a <list> element MUST be unique amongst
      all other "name" attributes of <list> elements within the same
      parent element.
   o  The "uri" attribute in a <entry> element MUST be unique amongst
      all other "uri" attributes of <entry> elements within the same
      parent element.  Uniqueness is determined by case sensitive string
      comparison.
   o  The URI in the "ref" attribute of the <entry-ref> element MUST be
      unique amongst all other "ref" attributes of <entry-ref> elements
      within the same parent element.  Uniqueness is determined by case
      sensitive string comparison.  The value of the attribute MUST be a
      relative path reference.  Note that the server is not responsible
      for verifying that the reference resolves to an <entry> element in
      a document within the same XCAP root.
   o  The URI in the "anchor" attribute of the <external> element MUST
      be unique amongst all other "anchor" attributes of <external>
      elements within the same parent element.  Uniqueness is determined
      by case sensitive string comparison.  The value of the attribute
      MUST be an absolute HTTP URL.  Note that the server is not
      responsible for verifying that the URL resolves to a <list>
      element in a document.  Indeed, since the URL may reference a
      server in another domain, referential integrity cannot be
      guaranteed without adding substantial complexity to the system.

3.4.5  Data Semantics

   Semantics for the document content are provided in Section 3.1.

3.4.6  Naming Conventions

   Resource lists documents are usually identified as references from
   other application usages.  For example, an RLS services document
   contains a reference to the resource list it uses.

   Frequently, an XCAP client will wish to insert or remove an <entry>,
   <entry-ref> or <external> element from a document without having a
   cached copy of that document.  In such a case, the "uri" attribute of
   the <entry> element, the "ref" attribute of the <entry-ref> element
   or the "anchor" attribute of the <external> element is used as an

   index to select the element to operate upon.  The XCAP server will
   determine uniqueness by case sensitive string comparison.  However,
   each of these attributes contain URIs, and the URI equality rules for
   their schemes may allow for two URI to be the same, even if they are
   different by case sensitive string comparison.  As such, it is
   possible that a client will attempt a PUT or DELETE in an attempt to
   modify or remove an existing element, but instead, the PUT ends up
   inserting a new element, or the DELETE ends up returning an error
   response.

   To mitigate against this case, if the client knows that the user
   intent is to explicitly modify an existing element, as opposed to
   creating a new one, the client SHOULD make the request conditional,
   using an If-None-Match header field with a value of *.  This will
   cause the request to fail if it is not a replacement.

   If the XCAP client cannot determine whether the user intent is to
   create or replace, the client SHOULD canonicalize the URI before
   performing the operation.  For a SIP URI (often present in the "uri"
   attribute of the <entry> element), this canonicalization procedure is
   defined in Section 5.  We expect that the SIP URIs that will be
   placed into resource lists documents will usually be of the form
   sip:user@domain, and possibly include a user parameter.  The
   canonicalization rules work perfectly for these URIs.

   For HTTP URLs, a basic canonicalization algorithm is as follows.  If
   the the port in the URL is equal to the default port (80 for http
   URLs), the port is removed.  The hostname is converted to all
   lowercase.  Any characters that are escape encoded are un-escaped,
   and only re-escaped if they cannot be represented within their
   component of the URL.

3.4.7  Resource Interdependencies

   There are no resource interdependencies identified by this
   application usage.

3.4.8  Authorization Policies

   This application usage does not modify the default XCAP authorization
   policy, which is that only a user can read, write or modify their own
   documents.  A server can allow priveleged users to modify documents
   that they don't own, but the establishment and indication of such
   policies is outside the scope of this document.  It is anticipated
   that a future application usage will define which users are allowed
   to modify a list resource.

4.  RLS Services Documents

4.1  Structure

   An RLS services document is used to define URIs that represent
   services provided by a Resource List Server (RLS) as defined in [15].
   An RLS services document is an XML [2] document that MUST be
   well-formed and SHOULD be valid.  RLS services documents MUST be
   based on XML 1.0 and MUST be encoded using UTF-8.  This specification
   makes use of XML namespaces for identifying RLS services documents
   and document fragments.  The namespace URI for elements defined by
   this specification is a URN [3], using the namespace identifier
   'ietf' defined by RFC 2648 [6] and extended by RFC 3688 [8].  This
   URN is:
      urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:rls-services

   The root element of an rls-services document is <rls-services>.  It
   contains a sequence of <service> elements, each of which defines a
   service available at an RLS.

   Each <service> element has a single mandatory attribute, "uri".  This
   URI defines the resource associated with the service.  That is, if a
   client subscribes to that URI, they will obtain the service defined
   by the corresponding <service> element.  The <service> element
   contains child elements that define the service.  For an RLS service,
   very little service definition is needed - just the resource list to
   which the server will perform virtual subscriptions [15] and the set
   of event packages that the service supports.  The former can be
   conveyed in one of two ways.  There can be a <resource-list> element,
   which points to a <list> element in a resource-lists document, or
   there can be a <list> element, which includes the resource list
   directly.  The supported packages are contained in the <packages>
   element.  The <service> element can also contain elements from other
   namespaces, for the purposes of extensibility.

   By including the contents of the resource list directly, a user can
   create lists and add members to them with a single XCAP operation.
   However, the resulting list becomes "hidden" within the RLS service
   definition, and is not usable by other application usages.  For this
   reason, the <resource-list> element exists as an alternative.  It can
   reference a <list> element in a resource-lists document.  Since the
   list is separated from the service definition, it can be easily
   reused by other application usages.

   The <list> element is of the list type defined by the schema for
   resource lists.  It is discussed in Section 3.1.

   The <resource-list> element contains a URI.  This element is only

   meaningful when the document was obtained through XCAP.  The URI MUST
   be an absolute HTTP URL representing an XCAP element resource.  Its
   XCAP root MUST be the same as the XCAP root of the RLS services
   document.  When the RLS services document in present in a user's home
   directory, the HTTP URL MUST exist underneath the same user's home
   directory in the resource-lists application usage.  When the RLS
   services document is in the global directory, the HTTP URL MUST exist
   underneath any user's home directory in the resource-lists
   application usage.  In either case, the element referenced by the URI
   MUST be a <list> element within a resource-lists document.  All of
   these constraints except for the latter one (which is a referential
   integrity constraint) will be enforced by the XCAP server.

   The <packages> element contains a sequence of <package> elements.
   The content of each <package> element is the name of a SIP event
   package [14].  The <packages> element may also contain elements from
   additional namespaces, for the purposes of extensibility.  The
   <packages> element is optional.  When not present, it means that the
   RLS service will accept subscriptions for any event package.

4.4  Usage with XCAP

   RLS services documents can be manipulated with XCAP.  This section
   provides the details necessary for such a usage.

4.4.1  Application Unique ID

   XCAP requires application usages to define a unique application usage
   ID (AUID) in either the IETF tree or a vendor tree.  This
   specification defines the "rls-services" AUID within the IETF tree,
   via the IANA registration in Section 7.

   Section 4.2.

4.4.4  Additional Constraints

   in the <service> and <resource-list> elements.  These constraints are

Internet-Draft             XML Resource Lists                  July 2004


   defined in Section 3.1.  Some of these constraints are enforced by
   the XCAP server.  Those constraints are:
   o  The URI in the "uri" attribute of the <service> element MUST be
      unique amongst all other URIs in "uri" elements in any <service>
      element in any document on a particular server.  This uniqueness
      constraint spans across XCAP roots.  Furthermore, the URI MUST NOT
      correspond to an existing resource within the domain of the URI.
      If a server is asked to set the URI to something that already
      exists, the server MUST reject the request with a 409, and use the
      mechanisms defined in [10] to suggest alternate URIs that have not
      yet been allocated.
   o  The URI in a <resource-list> element MUST be an absolute URI.  The
      server MUST verify that the URI path contains "resource-lists" in
      the path segment corresponding to the AUID.  If the RLS services
      document is within the XCAP user tree (as opposed to the global
      tree), the server MUST verify that the XUI in the path is the same
      as the XUI in the URI of to the RLS services document.  These
      checks are made by examining the URI value, as opposed to
      de-referencing the URI.  The server is not responsible for
      verifying that the URI actually points to a <list> element within
      a valid resource lists document.
   o  In addition, an RLS services document can contain a <list>
      element, which in turn can contain <entry>, <entry-ref> and
      <external> elements.  The constraints defined for these elements
      in Section 3.4.6 MUST be enforced.
   o  In some cases, an XCAP client will wish to create a new RLS
      service, and wish to assign it a "vanity URI", such as
      sip:friends@example.com.  However, the client does not know
      whether this URI meets the uniqueness constraints defined above.
      In that case, it can simply attempt the creation operation, and if
      the result is a 409 that contains a detailed conflict report with
      the <uniqueness-failure> element, the client knows that the URI
      could not be assigned.  It can then retry with a different vanity
      URI, or use one of the suggestions in the detailed conflict
      report.
   o  If the client wishes to create a new RLS service, and it doesnt
      care what the URI is, the client creates a random one, and
      attempts the creation operation.  As discussed in [10], if this
      should fail the with a uniqueness conflict, the client can retry
      with different URIs with increasing randomness.

4.4.5  Data Semantics

   Semantics for the document content are provided in Section 4.1.

4.4.6  Naming Conventions

   Typically, there are two distinct XCAP clients that access RLS



Rosenberg               Expires January 15, 2005               [Page 19]


Internet-Draft             XML Resource Lists                  July 2004


   services documents.  The first is a client acting on behalf of the
   end user in the system.  This client edits and writes both resource
   lists and RLS services documents as they are created or modified by
   the end user.  The other XCAP client is the RLS itself, which reads
   the RLS services documents in order to process SUBSCRIBE requests.

   To make it easier for an RLS to find the <service> element for a
   particular URI, the XCAP server maintains, within the global tree, a
   single RLS services document representing the union of all of the
   <service> elements across all documents created by all users within
   the same XCAP root.  There is a single instance of this document, and
   its name is "index".  Thus, if the root services URI is
   http://xcap.example.com/root, the following is the URI that an RLS
   would use to fetch this index:


   http://xcap.example.com/root/rls-services/global/index

   As discussed below, this index is created from all of the documents
   in the user tree that have the name "index" as well.  An implication
   of this is that a client operating on behalf of a user SHOULD define
   its RLS services within that document.  If the root services URI is
   http://xcap.example.com/root, for user "joe" the URI for this
   document would be:


   http://xcap.example.com/root/rls-services/users/joe/index

   If a client elects to define RLS services in a different document,
   this document will not be "picked up" in the global index, and
   therefore, not used as an RLS service.

4.4.7  Resource Interdependencies

   As with other application usages, the XML schema along with the XCAP
   resource naming conventions describes most of the resource
   interdependencies applicable to this application usage.

   This application usage defines an additional resource interdependence
   between a single document in the global tree and all documents in the
   user tree with the name "index".  This global document is formed as
   the union of all of the index documents for all users within the same
   XCAP root.  In this case, the union operation implies that each
   <service> element in a user document will also be present as a
   <service> element in the global document.  The inverse is true as
   well.  Every <service> element in the global document exists within a
   user document within the same XCAP root.

   The server MUST, at all times, be capable of processing requests made
   against the global document, and its contents MUST reflect the
   current state of all the relevant user documents.  This requirement
   does not imply that the server must actually store this global
   document.  It is anticipated that most systems will dynamically
   construct the responses to any particular request against the
   document resource.

   The uniqueness constraint on the "uri" attribute of <service> will
   ensure that no two <service> elements in the global document have the
   same value of that attribute.

4.4.8  Authorization Policies

   This application usage does not modify the default XCAP authorization
   policy, which is that only a user can read, write or modify their own
   documents.  A server can allow priveleged users to modify documents
   that they don't own, but the establishment and indication of such
   policies is outside the scope of this document.  It is anticipated
   that a future application usage will define which users are allowed
   to modify an RLS services document.

   The index document maintained in the global tree represents sensitive
   information, as it contains the union of all of the information for
   all users on the server.  As such, its access MUST be restricted to
   trusted elements within domain of the server.  Typically, this would

   be limited to the RLSs that need access to this document.

4.5  Usage of an RLS Services Document by an RLS

   This section discusses how an RLS, on receipt of a SUBSCRIBE request,
   uses XCAP and the RLS services document to guide its operation.

   When an RLS receives a SUBSCRIBE request for a URI (present in the
   Request URI), it obtains the <service> element whose uri attribute
   matches (based on URI equality) the URI in the SUBSCRIBE request.
   This document makes no normative statements on how this might be
   accomplished.  The following paragraph provides one possible
   approach.

   The RLS canonicalizes the Request URI as described in Section 5.  It
   then performs an XCAP GET operation against the URI formed by
   combining the XCAP root with the document selector of the global
   index with a node selector of the form "rls-services/
   service[@uri=<canonical-uri>]", where <canonical-uri> is the
   canonicalized version of the Request URI.  If the response is a 200
   OK, it will contain the service definition for that URI.

   Once the <service> element has been obtained, it is examined.  If the
   <packages> element is present, and the event package in the SUBSCRIBE
   request is not amongst those listed in the <package> elements within
   <packages>, the request MUST be rejected with a 489 (Bad Event)
   response code, as described in [14].  Otherwise, it SHOULD be
   processed.  The next step is to authorize that the client is allowed
   to subscribe to the resource.  This can be done using the data
   defined in [13], for example.  Assuming the subscriber is authorized
   to subscribe to that resource, the subscription is processed
   according to the procedures defined in [15].  This processing
   requires the RLS to compute a flat list of URIs that are to be
   subscribed to.  If the <service> element had a <list> element, it is
   extracted.  If the <service> element had a <resource-list> element,
   its URI content is dereferenced.  The result should be a <list>
   element.  If it is not, the request SHOULD be rejected with a 502
   (Bad Gateway).  Otherwise, that <list> element is extracted.

   At this point the RLS has a <list> element in its possession.  The
   next step is to obtain a flat list of URIs from this element.  To do
   that, it traverses the tree of elements rooted in the <list> element.
   Before traversal begins, the RLS initializes two lists - the "flat
   list", which will contain the flat list of URI after traversal, and
   the "traversed list", which contains a list of HTTP URLs in
   <external> elements that have already been visited.  Once these lists
   are initialized, tree traversal begins.  A server can use any
   tree-traversal ordering it likes, such as depth first search or



Rosenberg               Expires January 15, 2005               [Page 23]


Internet-Draft             XML Resource Lists                  July 2004


   breadth first search.  The processing at each element in the tree
   depends on the name of the element:
   o  If the element is <entry> the URI in the "uri" attribute of the
      element is added to the flat list if it is not already present
      (based on case sensitive string equality) in that list, and the
      URI scheme represents one that can be used to service
      subscriptions, such as SIP [4] and pres [16].
   o  If the element is an <entry-ref>, the relative path reference
      making up the value of the "ref" attribute is resolved into an
      absolute URL.  This is done using the procedures defined in
      Section 5.2 of RFC 2396 [7], using the XCAP root of the RLS
      services document as the base URL.  This absolute URL is resolved.
      If the result is not a 200 OK containing a <entry> element, the
      SUBSCRIBE request SHOULD be rejected with a 502 (Bad Gateway).
      Otherwise, the <entry> element returned is processed as described
      in the previous step.
   o  If the element is an <external> element, the absolute URL making
      up the value of the "anchor" attribute of the element is examined.
      If the URL is on the traversed list, the server MUST cease
      traversing the tree, and SHOULD reject the SUBSCRIBE request with
      a 502 (Bad Gateway).  If the URL is not on the traversed list, the
      server adds the URL to the traversed list, and de-references the
      URL.  If the result is not a 200 OK containing an <list> element,
      the SUBSCRIBE request SHOULD be rejected with a 502 (Bad Gateway).
      Otherwise, the RLS replaces the <external< element in its local
      copy of the tree with the <list> element that was returned, and
      tree traversal continues.

   Because the <external> element is used to dynamically construct the
   tree, there is a posibility of recursive evaluation of references.
   The traversed list is used to prevent this from happening.

   Once the tree has been traversed, the RLS can create virtual
   subscriptions to each URI in the flat list, as defined in [15].

   In the processing steps outlined above, when an <entry-ref> or
   <external> element contains a reference that cannot be resolved,
   failing the request is at SHOULD strength.  In some cases, an RLS may
   provide better service by creating virtual subscriptions to the URIs
   in the flat list that could be obtained, omitting those that could
   not.  Only in those cases should the SHOULD recommendation be
   ignored.

5.  SIP URI Canonicalization

   This section provides a technique for URI canonicalization.  This
   canonicalization produces a URI that, in most cases, is equal to the
   original URI (where equality is based on the URI comparison rules in
   RFC 3261).  Furthermore, the canonicalized URI will usually be
   lexically equivalent to the canonicalized version of any other URI
   equal to the original.

   To canonicalize the URI, the following steps are followed:
   1.  First, the domain part of the URI is converted into all
       lowercase, and any tokens (such as "user" or "transport" or
       "udp") are converted to all lowercase.
   2.  Secondly, the URI is un-escape coded.  Then, it is re-coded.
       However, when it is recoded, the only characters that are coded
       are those which are not permitted to appear based on the grammar
       of that portion of the URI.  For example, if a SIP URI is
       sip:%6aoe%20smith@example.com, it is decoded to "sip:joe
       smith@example.com" and the re-coded to
       sip:joe%20smith@example.com.  In the original URI, the character
       'j' was escape coded.  This is allowed, but not required, since
       the grammar allows a 'j' to appear in the user part.  As a
       result, it appears as 'j' after this step of canonicalization.
   3.  Thirdly, any URI parameters are reordered so that they appear in
       lexical order based on parameter name.  The ordering of a
       character is determined by the US-ASCII numerical value of that
       character, with smaller numbers coming first.  Parameters are
       ordered with the leftmost character as most significant.  For
       parameters that contain only letters, this is equivalent to an
       alphabetical ordering.
   4.  Finally, any header parameters are discarded.  This canonicalized
       URI is used instead of the original URI.

   If two URIs A and B are functionally equal (meaning that they are
   equal according to the URI comparison rules in RFC 3261), their
   canonicalized URIs are equal under case sensitive string comparison
   if the following are true:
   o  Neither URI contains header parameters
   o  If one of the URI contains a URI parameter not defined in RFC
      3261, the other does as well.

6.  Security Considerations

   The information contained in rls-services and resource-lists
   documents are particularly sensitive.  It represents the principle
   set of people with whom a user would like to communicate.  As a
   result, clients SHOULD use TLS when contacting servers in order to
   fetch this information.  Note that this does not represent a change
   in requirement strength from XCAP.
