<p>Note: This document explicitly does not define a protocol for "guaranteed delivery", since that term (like "security") means different things to different people. Instead, we define a more focused protocol that addresses the need for message receipts, thus solving one problem that falls under the heading of "guaranteed delivery".</p>

<section1 topic='Protocol Format' anchor='format'>
<p>In order to make it possible for senders to request and for recipients to generate message receipts, we define a new <cite>Advanced Message Processing</cite> rule: "receipt". In accordance with <cite>XEP-0079</cite>, we provide the following information about the receipt rule:</p>
<p>In order to make it possible for senders to request and for recipients to generate message receipts, we define a dedicated protocol extension qualified by the 'http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0184.html#ns' namespace &NSNOTE;.</p>
<p>There are two allowable elements in this namespace:</p>
<ul>
<li>The namespace shall be "http://jabber.org/protocol/amp?condition=receipt".</li>
<li>The condition applies only to final receipt by the intended recipient; therefore, the per-hop flag does not apply.</li>
<li>The only defined value of the receipt rule is "received".</li>
<li>This condition is met if a message processing application (client) controlled by the intended recipient has received and processed the message; the term "processed" is understood to include presentation to a human user if appropriate or any other application-specific client-side processing, including generation of an error response if the application determines that the message contents cannot be handled.</li>
<li>Although any defined action may be triggered, the only action needed in order to support message receipts is the "notify" action.</li>
<li>&lt;request/&gt; -- included by a sending entity that wishes to know if the message has been received.</li>
<li>&lt;received/&gt; -- included by a receiving entity that wishes to inform the sending the entity that the message has been received.</li>
</ul>
<p>Specifically, the receiving entity shall return a &lt;received/&gt; notice if it has received and processed the message. The term "processed" is understood to include presentation to a human user if appropriate or any other application-specific client-side processing, including generation of an error response if the application determines that the message contents cannot be handled.</p>
<p>The following is an example of a message that includes a request for return receipt.</p>

<p>The recipient MUST generate a receipt if and only if it meets all of the following criteria:</p>

<li>It supports Advanced Message Processing.</li>
<li>It supports the "receipt" rule.</li>

<section1 topic='Business Rules' anchor='rules'>
<p>The general business rules specified for Advanced Message Processing in <cite>XEP-0079</cite> apply to any rule; in addition, the following business rules apply specifically to the receipt rule:</p>
<p>The following business rules apply:</p>
<ol start='1'>
<li><p>A sender SHOULD NOT include a request for message receipts when sending a message to the bare JID (&BAREJID;) of the recipient, only when sending to a full JID (&FULLJID;).</p></li>
<li><p>A sender SHOULD NOT include a request for message receipts unless it knows (via &xep0030; or &xep0115;) that the intended recipient supports the protocol described herein or unless the use of message receipts is negotiated via &xep0155;.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Naturally, the receipt rule can be combined wiith rules specified in <cite>XEP-0079</cite> (e.g., the deliver rule) for more complete reporting.</p>

<section1 topic='Service Discovery' anchor='disco'>
<p>If a sender wishes to request message receipts, it SHOULD first discover whether the intended recipient supports message receipts. Support can be discovered indirectly via <cite>Entity Capabilities</cite> or directly via <cite>Service Discovery</cite>.</p>
<p>If an entity supports Advanced Message Processing, it MUST report that by including a service discovery feature of "http://jabber.org/protocol/amp" as described in <cite>XEP-0079</cite>:</p>

<p>An entity that supports Advanced Message Processing SHOULD also maintain a service discovery node named "http://jabber.org/protocol/amp", at which it advertises the individual actions and conditions it supports.
