Revised Civic Location Format for Presence Information Data Format Location Object
RFC 5139, “Revised Civic Location Format for Presence Information Data Format Location Object”, is a Proposed Standard document published in February 2008 by M. Thomson, J. Winterbottom. It updates RFC 4119. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines an XML format for the representation of civic location. This format is designed for use with Presence Information Data Format Location Object (PIDF-LO) documents and replaces the civic location format in RFC 4119. The format is based on the civic address definition in PIDF-LO, but adds several new elements based on the civic types defined for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), and adds a hierarchy to address complex road identity schemes. The format also includes support for the xml:lang language tag and restricts the types of elements where appropriate. [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.
