   <abstract>This specification defines a protocol that enables two or more endpoints to collaboratively edit an XML object. The protocol is intended for use mainly over the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP), either by existing instant messaging clients or by specialized editing clients. However, the protocol could also be used over a direct TCP connection rather than over XMPP.</abstract>
