Address Resolution for Instant Messaging and Presence
RFC 3861, “Address Resolution for Instant Messaging and Presence”, is a Proposed Standard document published in August 2004 by J. Peterson. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Presence and instant messaging are defined in RFC 2778. The Common Profiles for Presence and Instant Messaging define two Universal Resource Identifier (URI) schemes: 'im' for INSTANT INBOXes and 'pres' for PRESENTITIES. This document provides guidance for locating the resources associated with URIs that employ these schemes. [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.
