Rough draft, copied and modified from XEP-0270.

The &XSF; defines protocol suites for the purpose of compliance testing and software certification. This document specifies the 2012 compliance levels for XMPP clients and servers. The XSF neglected to publish compliance suites for 2011; therefore the predecessor to this document is &xep0270;. Unless qualified where explicitly noted, support for the listed specifications is REQUIRED for compliance purposes.
