Location Types Registry
RFC 4589, “Location Types Registry”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 2006 by H. Schulzrinne, H. Tschofenig. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document creates a registry for describing the types of places a human or end system might be found. The registry is then referenced by other protocols that need a common set of location terms as protocol constants. Examples of location terms defined in this document include aircraft, office, and train station. [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.
