<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 a duration for how 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 <idle/> element.</p>
<p>This protocol uses absolute timestamps formatted according to the DateTime profile of &xep0082;, indicated as value of the 'since' attribute in the <idle/> element.</p>
<p>Experience has shown a number of issues with &xep0256;:</p>
<ul>
<li>The use of relative durations is too vague. It requires additional information from &xep0203; to provide a reliable user experience.</li>
