<p>Even though a client might be available (as stated in the most recent presence stanza) the user this client belongs to might not have the focus on the client currently. &xep0132; defines a method for a physical test of user presence. Since this requires special hardware that can not be assumed to be available, this XEP defines a software-only implementation where no direct feedback is expected. This is known as 'nudge' or 'buzz' in some legacy IM protocols.</p>

<p>It was discussed whether this should be part of &xep0085;. However, the semantics are inherently different, since it describes the sender's state, not a request to change the receiver's. Thus, a separate extension is desirable.</p>

<p>The following rules apply to generating and processing of the attention extension.

<li>Before sending an attention message stanza, the client MUST confirm support for it in the other client as described under <link url='#disco'>Determining Support</link>.</li>
<li>Before sending an attention message stanza, the client SHOULD confirm support for it in the other client as described under <link url='#disco'>Determining Support</link>.</li>
<li>The message stanza containing the attention extension MAY contain a body and/or other extensions, which is to be displayed along with executing the attention event.</li>
<li>In message stanzas containing either &xep0203; data, attention extensions MUST be ignored, since this is an instant event which should not be replayed after a delay.</li>
<li>Messages containing an attention extension SHOULD use the headline message type to avoid offline storage.</li>

<p>In addition, support for receiving attention extensions in message stanzas can be determined through the dynamic profile of Service Discovery defined in &xep0115;.</p>
<p>In order for an application to determine whether an entity supports this protocol, where possible it SHOULD use the dynamic, presence-based profile of service discovery defined in &xep0115;. However, if an application has not received entity capabilities information from an entity, it SHOULD use explicit service discovery instead.</p>
