Policy systems allow the presentity to grant access to specific pieces of information to specific watchers. To allow for interoperability between clients which set such policies, and servers which execute them, it is necessary for clients to be able to determine the capabilities of the server to which it is connected. This specification defines a set of Extensible Markup Language (XML) Rosenberg Expires August 22, 2005 [Page 1] Internet-Draft Presence Policy Capabilities February 2005 elements for expressing presence policy capabilities.

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 [3] and indicate requirement levels for compliant implementations. 2. Introduction An important component of presence [6] is policy. Policy systems allow the presentity to grant access to specific pieces of information to specific watchers. These policy systems can be extremely simple or extremely complex. For this reason [1] defines a generic Extensible Markup Language (XML) based format for representing policy capabilities. That format applies to many services, including location and presence. This specification extends that one by defining policy capabilities specific to presence. Those policy capabilities correspond to the conditions, actions and transformations defined in [2]. 3. Structure of Presence Policy Capabilities [1] defines the structure of common policy capability documents. In that specification, each policy capability document has three components - a list of supported conditions, a list of supported actions, and a list of supported transformations. This specification merely extends that document with the conditions, actions and transformations defined in [2]. It does so by defining the elements , and , each of which is a presence transformation that the server can support. Furthermore, each of those includes elements that define the specific ways of identifying services, devices and persons, respectively. The document also defines capabilities for transformations that provide individual presence attributes, including , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , and , each of which is a boolean indicating whether that transformation is supported. Finally, this document defines the element, which is a boolean indicating whether or not the corresponding action is supported. OPEN ISSUE: should we define capabilities for specific values of Rosenberg Expires August 22, 2005 [Page 3] Internet-Draft Presence Policy Capabilities February 2005 sub-handling and component-id? All of these elements are defined within the namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:presence-policy-capabilities 4.

Rosenberg Expires August 22, 2005 [Page 5] Internet-Draft Presence Policy Capabilities February 2005 NOTE: this example needs work - doens't validate against the schema. 6. Security Considerations This specification does not introduce any new security considerations beyond those discussed in [1]. 7. IANA Considerations There are several IANA considerations associated with this specification. 7.1 URN Sub-Namespace Registrations This section registers a new XML namespace, as per the guidelines in [4] Rosenberg Expires August 22, 2005 [Page 6] Internet-Draft Presence Policy Capabilities February 2005 URI: The URI for this namespace is urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:presence-policy-capabilities Registrant Contact: IETF, SIMPLE working group, (simple@ietf.org), Jonathan Rosenberg (jdrosen@jdrosen.net). XML: BEGIN Supported Presence Permissions Namespace

Namespace for Supported Permissions

urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:presence-policy-capabilities

See RFCXXXX.

END 7.2 XML Schema Registration This section registers an XML schema as per the procedures in [4]. URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:presence-policy-capabilities. Registrant Contact: IETF, SIMPLE working group, (simple@ietf.org), Jonathan Rosenberg (jdrosen@jdrosen.net). The XML for this schema can be found as the sole content of Section 4. 8.
