<p>This protocol describes a way to communicate a user's last interaction time with other XMPP entities over &PRESENCE; stanzas. For the purposes of this document, user interaction here refers to a human end user interacting with her device by means of a keyboard, mouse, touch screen, and so on. Based on this information XMPP clients can display the time a contact went idle or how a duration for who long a contact has been idle, thereby allowing end users to estimate the expected responsiveness of their contacts.</p>

<p>This protocol uses absolute timestamps formatted according to &xep0082;, indicated as value of the 'since' attribute in the &lt;idle/&gt; element.</p>
<p>Experience has shown a number of issues with &xep0256;:</p>
<ul>
<li>The use of relative durations is too vague.</li>
<li>The use of relative durations is too vague. It requires additional information from &xep0203; to provide a reliable user experience.</li>
<li>Distinguishing between the idle and last online use cases is very difficult.</li>
<li>It is desirable to have idle time indiciated for &PRESENCE; &lt;show/&gt; values other than "away" and "xa".</li>
</ul>

<section2 topic='Presence Indicating User Coming Back From Idle' anchor='back-from-idle'>
When a user comes back and uses her device again the client can informs user's contacts by sending a normal presence stanza like shown in the following example, omiting the &lt;idle/&gt; element.

<section1 topic='Security Considerations' anchor='security'>
<p>The security considerations of <cite>XEP-0082</cite> apply to this protocol.</p>
<p>this specification introduces no new security or privacy concerns. While including a last user interaction notation in &PRESENCE; updates can enable recipients to determine exactly when a user has stopped interacting with his or her XMPP client or even their system, this information is in essence already available if the user's client publishes timely presence updates.</p>
