The XMPP Standards Foundation (XSF) [1] defines protocol suites for the purpose of compliance testing and software certification. This document specifies the 2009 compliance levels for XMPP servers. Support for the listed specifications is REQUIRED for compliance purposes.
The XMPP Core Server 2009 certification level is defined below. Support for these specifications is REQUIRED for compliance purposes.
The XMPP Advanced Server 2009 certification level is defined as follows:
Some of the protocol specifications referenced herein have their own dependencies; developers must refer to the relevant specifications for further information.
Developers are advised to refer to Best Practices for Use of SASL EXTERNAL (XEP-0178) [12] regarding proper implementation of the SASL EXTERNAL mechanism in XMPP.
This document introduces no additional security considerations above and beyond those defined in the documents on which it depends.
This document requires no interaction with the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) [13].
This document requires no interaction with the XMPP Registrar [14].

The Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) is defined in the XMPP Core (RFC 6120) and XMPP IM (RFC 6121) specifications contributed by the XMPP Standards Foundation to the Internet Standards Process, which is managed by the Internet Engineering Task Force in accordance with RFC 2026. Any protocol defined in this document has been developed outside the Internet Standards Process and is to be understood as an extension to XMPP rather than as an evolution, development, or modification of XMPP itself.
The primary venue for discussion of XMPP Extension Protocols is the <standards@xmpp.org> discussion list.
Discussion on other xmpp.org discussion lists might also be appropriate; see <http://xmpp.org/about/discuss.shtml> for a complete list.
Errata can be sent to <editor@xmpp.org>.
The following requirements keywords as used in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119: "MUST", "SHALL", "REQUIRED"; "MUST NOT", "SHALL NOT"; "SHOULD", "RECOMMENDED"; "SHOULD NOT", "NOT RECOMMENDED"; "MAY", "OPTIONAL".
