Technical Summary
The "Mapping XMPP to CPIM" document gives instructions for moving
instant messages and presence information between an XMPP system and
a CPIM compatible system. It lays out specific instructions for
translating addresses between the systems (essentially, escaping
characters that don't appear in the other system), translating
between XMPP elements and attributes and CPIM headers and PIDF
objects, adding appropriate syntax when such is not present, and
describing how to do subscription service between the two systems.
There are internationalization concerns in this document, especially
because XMPP allows UTF-8 in its identifiers and certain characters
are allowed in CPIM addresses that are not allowed in XMPP
identifiers. They seem to be addressed well. Security concerns are
mostly those out of the base spec and out of the end-to-end
encryption spec.
Working Group Summary
The working group has done a reasonable amount of review of this
document. There is little controversial in this document, so
consensus was relatively straightforward.
