Common Profile for Instant Messaging
RFC 3860, “Common Profile for Instant Messaging”, is a Proposed Standard document published in August 2004 by J. Peterson. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
At the time this document was written, numerous instant messaging protocols were in use, and little interoperability between services based on these protocols has been achieved. This specification defines common semantics and data formats for instant messaging to facilitate the creation of gateways between instant messaging services. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
