+Abstract
+
+ In instant messaging (IM) systems, it is useful to know during an IM
+ conversation whether the other party is composing a message; e.g.,
+ typing or recording an audio message. This document defines a new
+ status message content type and XML namespace that conveys
+ information about a message being composed. The status message can
+ indicate the composition of a message of any type, including text,
+ voice, or video. The status messages are delivered to the instant
+ messaging recipient in the same manner as the instant messages
+ themselves.

+
+1. Introduction
+
+ By definition, instant messaging (IM) is message based: A user
+ composes a message by, for example, typing, speaking, or recording a
+ video clip. This message is then sent to one or more recipients.
+ Unlike email, instant messaging is often conversational, so the other
+ party is waiting for a response. If no response is forthcoming, a
+ participant in an instant messaging conversation may erroneously
+ assume either that the communication partner has left or that it is
+ her turn to type again, leading to two messages "crossing on the
+ wire".
+
+ To avoid this uncertainty, a number of commercial instant messaging
+ systems feature an "is-typing" indication sent as soon as one party
+ starts typing a message. In this document, we describe a generalized
+ version of this indication, called the isComposing status message.
+ As described in Section 3 in more detail, a status message is
+ delivered to the instant message recipient in the same manner as are
+ the messages themselves. The isComposing status messages can
+ announce the composition of any media type, not just text. For
+
+
+
+Schulzrinne Standards Track [Page 2]
+
+RFC 3994 isComposing January 2005
+
+
+ example, it might be used if somebody is recording an audio or video
+ clip. In addition, it can be extended to convey other instant
+ messaging user states in the future. Below, we will call these
+ messages "status messages" for brevity.
+
+ The status messages are carried as XML, as instances of the XML
+ schema defined in Section 6, and labeled as an
+ application/im-iscomposing+xml content type.
+
+ These status messages can be considered somewhat analogous to the
+ comfort noise packets that are transmitted in silence-suppressed
+ interactive voice conversations.
+
+ Events and extensions to presence, such as PIDF [6], were also
+ considered but have a number of disadvantages. They add more
+ overhead, as an explicit and periodic subscription is required.
+ For page-mode delivery, subscribing to the right user agent and
+ set of messages may not be easy. An in-band, message-based
+ mechanism is also easier to translate across heterogeneous instant
+ messaging systems.
+
+ The mechanism described here aims to satisfy the requirements in [7].
+
+2. Terminology and Conventions
+
+ This memo makes use of the vocabulary defined in the IMPP Model
+ document [1]. In this memo, terms such as CLOSED, INSTANT MESSAGE,
+ OPEN, PRESENCE SERVICE, PRESENTITY, WATCHER, and WATCHER USER AGENT
+ are used with the same meaning defined therein. The key words MUST,
+ MUST NOT, REQUIRED, SHOULD, SHOULD NOT, RECOMMENDED, MAY, and
+ OPTIONAL in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
+ 14, RFC 2119 [2].
+
+ This document discusses two kinds of messages; namely, the instant
+ message (IM) conveying actual content between two or more users
+ engaged in an instant messaging conversation, and the status message,
+ described in this document, which indicates the current composing
+ status to the other participants in a conversation. We use the terms
+ "content message" and "status message" for these two message types.
+
+3. Description
+
+3.1. Overview
+
+ We model the user of an instant messaging system as being in one of
+ several states, in this document limited to "idle" and "active". By
+ default, the user is in "idle" state, both before starting to compose
+ a message and after sending it.
+
+
+
+Schulzrinne Standards Track [Page 3]
+
+RFC 3994 isComposing January 2005
+
+
+3.2. Message Composer Behavior
+
+ Only the instant messaging user agent actively composing a content
+ message generates status messages indicating the current state. When
+ the user starts composing a content message (the actual instant
+ message), the state becomes "active", and an isComposing status
+ message containing a <state> element indicating "active" is sent to
+ the recipient of the content message being composed. As long as the
+ user continues to produce instant message content, the user remains
+ in state "active".
+
+ There are two sender timers: the active-state refresh interval, and
+ the idle time-out interval.
+
+ The active-state refresh interval determines how often "active" state
+ messages are sent while the composer remains in "active" state. The
+ interval is chosen by the composing user and indicated in the
+ <refresh> element in the status message, expressed in integer
+ seconds. Each transmission of the isComposing message resets the
+ timer. The interval SHOULD be no shorter than 60 seconds. A message
+ composer MAY decide not to send active-state refresh messages at all.
+ This is indicated by omitting the refresh interval; this will cause
+ the receiver to assume that it has gone idle after 120 seconds. (In
+ most cases, the content message will have been sent by then.) No
+ refresh messages are sent in "idle" state.
+
+ The active-state refresh mechanism deals with the case in which
+ the user logs off or the application crashes before the content
+ message is completed.
+
+ If the user stops composing for more than a configured time interval,
+ the idle timeout, the state transitions to "idle", and an "idle"
+ status message is sent. If the user starts composing again while in
+ "idle" state, the state transitions to "active", and the
+ corresponding status message is sent. Unless otherwise configured by
+ the user, the idle timeout SHOULD have a default value of 15 seconds.
+
+ If a content message is sent before the idle threshold expires, no
+ "idle" state indication is needed. Thus, in most cases, only one
+ status message is generated for each content message. In any event,
+ the message rate is limited to one status message per refresh
+ threshold interval.

+
+3.3. Status Message Receiver Behavior
+
+ The status message receiver uses the status messages to determine the
+ state of the content message sender. If the most recent "active"
+ status message contained a <refresh> value, the refresh time-out is
+ set to that value; otherwise, it is 120 seconds. The state at the
+ receiver transitions from "active" to "idle" under three conditions:
+
+ 1. A status message with status "idle" is received.
+ 2. A content message is received.
+ 3. The refresh interval expires.
+
+ Receivers MUST be able to handle multiple consecutive isComposing
+ messages with "active" state, regardless of the refresh interval.

+
+3.4. Message Content
+
+ We briefly describe the message content to summarize the discussion
+ above. This description is non-normative. The schema (Section 6)
+ should be consulted for the normative message format.
+
+ The message consists of an <isComposing> element, with a mandatory
+ <state> element indicating the composer state; i.e., idle or active.
+ In addition, there are three optional elements: <lastactive>,
+ indicating the time of last activity; <contenttype>, the type of
+ message being created; and <refresh>, the time interval after which
+ the receiver can expect an update from the composer. Details are
+ given in the following section.
+
+3.5. Additional Status Information
+
+ The status message contains additional optional elements to provide
+ further details on the composition activity. Any of these can appear
+ in both "active" and "idle" state messages.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Schulzrinne Standards Track [Page 6]
+
+RFC 3994 isComposing January 2005
+
+
+ The optional <lastactive> element describes the absolute time when
+ the user last added or edited content.
+
+ The optional <contenttype> element indicates the type of medium in
+ which the messaging terminal is currently composing. It can contain
+ either just a MIME media type, such as "audio" or "text", or a media
+ type and subtype, such as "text/html". It is best understood as a
+ hint to the user, not a guarantee, that the actual content message
+ will indeed contain only the content indicated. It allows the human
+ recipient to be prepared for the likely message format.
+
+ To further describe message composition, the XML schema or the set of
+ allowable state names can be extended in future documents.
+ Recipients of status messages implementing this specification without
+ extensions MUST treat state tokens other than "idle" and "active" as
+ "idle". Additional elements MUST use their own namespaces and MUST
+ be designed so that receivers can safely ignore such extensions.
+ Adding elements to the namespace defined in this document is not
+ permitted.
+
+ The isComposing status message MAY be carried in CPIM messages [3].
+
+ Such a wrapper is particularly useful if messages are relayed by a
+ conference server since the CPIM message maintains the identity of
+ the original composer.
+
+4. Using the Status Message
+
+ The isComposing status message can be used with either page mode or
+ session mode, although session mode is a more natural fit. In
+ session mode, the status message is sent as part of the messaging
+ stream. Its usage is negotiated just like any other media type in
+ that stream, with details depending on the session mode protocol.
+
+ Sending the status messages within the session-mode messaging stream
+ has at least three benefits. First, it ensures proper ordering and
+ synchronization with the actual content messages being composed. In
+ messaging systems that guarantee in-order delivery of messages, this
+ approach avoids having an active indication appear at the receiver
+ after the actual message has been delivered, due to message
+ reordering across two delivery mechanisms.
+
+ Secondly, end-to-end security can be applied to the messages.
+ Thirdly, session negotiation mechanisms can be used to turn it on and
+ off at any time, and even to negotiate its use in a single direction
+ at a time.
+
+
+
+
+
+Schulzrinne Standards Track [Page 7]
+
+RFC 3994 isComposing January 2005
+
+
+ Usage with page mode is also straightforward: The status message is
+ carried as the body of a page mode message. In SIP-based IM, The
+ composer MUST cease transmitting status messages if the receiver
+ returned a 415 status code (Unsupported Media Type) in response to a
+ MESSAGE request containing the status indication.
+
+ The sender cannot be assured that the status message is delivered
+ before the actual content being composed arrives. However, SIP page
+ mode is limited to one unacknowledged message, so out-of-order
+ delivery is unlikely, albeit still possible if proxies are involved.
+
+5. Examples
+
+ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
+ <isComposing xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:im-iscomposing"
+ xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
+ xsi:schemaLocation="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:im-composing
+ iscomposing.xsd">
+ <state>active</state>
+ <contenttype>text/plain</contenttype>

+ </isComposing>
+
+ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

+ <state>idle</state>
+ <lastactive>2003-01-27T10:43:00Z</lastactive>
+ <contenttype>audio</contenttype>
+ </isComposing>
+
+6. XML Document Format
+
+ An isComposing document is an XML document that MUST be well formed
+ and SHOULD be valid. isComposing documents MUST be based on XML 1.0
+ and MUST be encoded by using UTF-8. This specification makes use of
+ XML namespaces for identifying isComposing documents. The namespace
+ URI for elements defined for this purpose is a URN using the
+ namespace identifier 'ietf'. This URN is:
+
+ urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:im-iscomposing
+
+
+
+

+
+6.1. XML Schema
+
+ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
+ <xs:schema targetNamespace="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:im-iscomposing"

+ minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
+ </xs:sequence>
+ </xs:complexType>
+ </xs:element>
+ </xs:schema>
+
+7. Security Considerations
+
+ The isComposing indication provides a fine-grained view of the
+ activity of the entity composing and thus deserves particularly
+ careful confidentiality protection so that only the intended
+ recipient of the message will receive the isComposing indication.
+
+ Since the status messages are carried by using the IM protocol
+ itself, all security considerations of the underlying IM protocol
+ also apply to the isComposing status messages.
+
+ There are potential privacy issues in sending isComposing status
+ messages before an actual conversation has been established between
+ the communicating users. A status message may be sent even if the
+ user later abandons the message. It is RECOMMENDED that isComposing
+ indications in page mode are only sent when a message is being
+ composed as a reply to an earlier message. This document does not
+ prescribe how an implementation detects whether a message is in
+ response to an earlier one in page mode, but elapsed time or user
+ interface behavior might be used as hints.
