<p>The &XSF; defines protocol suites for the purpose of compliance testing and software certification. This document specifies the XMPP Basic Server 2008 certification level.</p>

<p>The XMPP Basic Server 2008 certification level is defined as follows:</p>
<tablecaption='Required and Recommended Specifications'>
<p>* Note: &xmppcore; and &xmppim; are currently being revised to incorporate errata and feedback based on implementation experience; because it is expected that the revision process will be complete well before this compliance level takes effect, developers are advised to implement the specifications as defined in draft-saintandre-rfc3920bis and draft-saintandre-rfc3921bis rather than RFC 3920 and RFC 3921.</p>
<p>** Note: Support for XEP-0078 and XEP-0086 is recommended for backward compatibility only. It is likely that compliance definitions for future years will remove these recommendations.</p>
<p>Some of the protocol specifications referenced herein have their own dependencies; developers must refer to the relevant specifications for further information.</p>
