  1. RPIDS Henning Schulzrinne Columbia University SIMPLE - IETF 57 (Vienna)

  2. Issues • Changes since last IETF • Organization • Predictive items • Informational items • Completeness • Capabilities proposal SIMPLE - IETF 57 (Vienna)

  3. Changes since last IETF • Removed group notion • Removed capabilities again (to avoid blocking on caller preferences) • Renamed some elements • Added <card>, <info>, <class>, <icon> • Merged idle notion into one element SIMPLE - IETF 57 (Vienna)

  4. Additions: class parameter • Allows grouping of elements by same name, assigned by PUA, PA or composer • No specific meaning attached to values • No uniqueness requirements • Similar to HTML parameter used for cascading style sheets (CSS) • Uses: • Rendering (e.g., for CSS or XSLT) • Filtering by watcher • Composition rules • Restrictions by presentity SIMPLE - IETF 57 (Vienna)

  5. Changes: <idle> • Used for hinting at likelihood of finding presentity at device • For some devices (e.g., cell phones), works best for short durations • Change: empty element indicates some presentity-defined threshold of idle time SIMPLE - IETF 57 (Vienna)

  6. Logical groupings of elements • Basic status indications: <activity>, <idle>, <until> • Environment indications: <placetype>, <privacy> • Rendering hints: <icon> (tuple), class • Relationship indication: <relationship> • Presentity description: <icon>, <card> • Timed status: <timed-status> SIMPLE - IETF 57 (Vienna)

  7. Information about tuples/presentities: info, card, icon • <info>: typically, home page, but could be ldap: or (future) CRISP reference • By external reference (could be cid) • Allows more useful rendering of tuples • E.g., some existing systems (GAIM) allow to assign icons to users, not just status • Cannot be readily replicated in SIP Info headers if at tuple level (multiple!) • Also, with third-party publication, not clear if Call-Info refers to SIP entity or PIDF entity SIMPLE - IETF 57 (Vienna)

  8. Predictive presence SIMPLE - IETF 57 (Vienna)

  9. Document structure options • Leave as is • Split into • <activity>, <idle>, <until>, <placetype>, <privacy>, <class> • predictive presence: <timed-status> • presentity description: <icon>, <card>, <info> • capabilities SIMPLE - IETF 57 (Vienna)

  10. Open issue: DND • In previous version, used priority indication: “only for urgent calls” • Gone with removal of capabilities, but very common in commercial IM systems • Proposal: either revive/revise callee capabilities quickly or import directly SIMPLE - IETF 57 (Vienna)

  11. Capabilities • Old mechanism was syntactically clumsy and unnecessarily different from other descriptions  makes filtering and restrictions more difficult than necessary • Treating labels as values violates XML design principles of tagged data, would be the same as doing<x tag=“body”><x tag=“h1”>Heading</x> • New tags need to be registered with IANA anyway  might as well automatically ‘translate’ into XML element at the same time SIMPLE - IETF 57 (Vienna)

  12. Capabilities proposal • <c:audio>true</c:audio><c:video>true</c:video><c:mobility>fixed</c:mobility><c:methods>INVITE,MESSAGE</c:methods> SIMPLE - IETF 57 (Vienna)
