<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
  <p>In certain protocols that make use of &xep0004;, it can be helpful to include media data such as small images. One example of such a "using protocol" is &xep0158;. This document defines a method for including media data in a data form.</p>
</section1>

<section1 topic='Media Element' anchor='media'>
  <p>The root element for media data is &lt;media/&gt;. This element MUST be qualified by the "urn:xmpp:tmp:media-element' namespace &NSNOTE;. The &lt;media/&gt; element MUST be contained within a &lt;field/&gt; element qualified by the 'jabber:x:data' namespace.</p>
  <p>If the media is an image or video then the &lt;media/&gt; element SHOULD include 'height' and 'width' attributes specifying the recommended display size of the media in pixels.</p>
  <p>The &lt;media/&gt; element SHOULD contain at least one &lt;uri/&gt; element to specify the out-of-band location of the media data. <note>Constrained execution environments prevent some clients (e.g., Web clients) from rendering media unless it has been received out-of-band.</note> The &lt;uri/&gt; element MUST contain a URI that indicates the location and MUST include a 'type' atribute that specifies the MIME type (see &rfc2045;) of the media.</p>
  <p>The &lt;media/&gt; element MAY also contain one or more &lt;data/&gt; elements for distributing the media in-band. The &lt;data/&gt; element MUST be qualified by the 'urn:xmpp:tmp:data-element' as defined in &xep0231;. The <em>encoded</em> data SHOULD NOT be larger than 8 kilobytes. <note>If a stanza contains more than one &lt;data/&gt; element, the sending entity MUST take care not to trigger server-defined bandwidth limits.</note></p>

    <p>Until this specification advances to a status of Draft, its associated namespace shall be "urn:xmpp:tmp:media-element"; upon advancement of this specification, the &REGISTRAR; shall issue a permanent namespace in accordance with the process defined in Section 4 of &xep0053;.</p>
