RFC 8280, "Research into Human Rights Protocol Considerations", October 2017

Source of RFC: IRTF

Errata ID: 5306
Status: Rejected
Type: Technical
Publication Format(s) : TEXT

Reported By: Florian Schmaus

Rejected by: Allison Mankin (IRTF Chair)

Section 5.2.3.4.1. says:

Likewise, user invisibility so that communication can
occur while users don't notify all buddies and other servers of their
availability is not part of the formal protocol and has only been
added as an extension within the XML stream rather than enforced by
the protocol.

Notes:

The sentence is not correct and thus misleading. XMPP imposes no restriction on communication depending on your own presence status. It is perfectly fine to communicate with someone *without* notifying "all buddies and other servers" of your availability.
--VERIFIER NOTES--
The RFC's editors concluded that accepting the erratum would not add value. IRTF Chair agrees.
