Section 3 says:
It is central to this model that each attribute is affiliated with the service, person, or device because they describe that service, presentity, or device. This is in contrast to a model whereby the attributes are associated with the service, presentity, or device because they were reported by that service, presentity, or device.
It should say:
It is central to this model that each attribute is affiliated with the service, person, or device because they describe that service, person, or device. This is in contrast to a model whereby the attributes are associated with the service, person, or device because they were reported by that service, person, or device.
Notes:
Regarding the definition from Section 2, on top of page 4 of the RFC,
Presentity: A presentity combines devices, services, and person
information for a complete picture of a user's presence status on
the network.
IMHO the term "presentity" should have been replaced by "person" to keep this text passage
consistent with the terminology introduced in Section 2.
