Indication of Message Composition for Instant Messaging
RFC 3994, “Indication of Message Composition for Instant Messaging”, is a Proposed Standard document published in February 2005 by H. Schulzrinne. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
In instant messaging (IM) systems, it is useful to know during an IM conversation whether the other party is composing a message; e.g., typing or recording an audio message. This document defines a new status message content type and XML namespace that conveys information about a message being composed. The status message can indicate the composition of a message of any type, including text, voice, or video. The status messages are delivered to the instant messaging recipient in the same manner as the instant messages themselves. [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.
