<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
  <p>The &XSF; defines protocol suites for the purpose of compliance testing and software certification. This document specifies the 2012 compliance levels for XMPP clients and servers. <note>The XSF neglected to publish compliance suites for 2011; therefore the predecessor to this document is &xep0270;.</note> Unless qualified where explicitly noted, support for the listed specifications is REQUIRED for compliance purposes.</p>
