<section1 topic='Introduction'>
<p class='note'>Note: This specification has been deprecated in favor of &xep0202;.</p>
<p>This document provides canonical documentation of the 'jabber:iq:time' namespace, which was long used by Jabber applications to discover the time at another entity's location. This document is of historical importance only, since it has been deprecated in favor of <cite>XEP-0202</cite>.</p>
</section1>
<section1 topic='Definition'>
<p>The 'jabber:iq:time' namespace provides a standard way for Jabber entities to exchange information about the local time (e.g., to "ping" another entity or check network latency). The information is communicated in a request/response pair using an &IQ; element that contains a &QUERY; scoped by the 'jabber:iq:time' namespace. The following children of the &QUERY; element are allowed in an IQ result:</p>
<ul>
<li>&lt;utc/&gt; -- The time (in UTC) according to the responding entity. The format SHOULD be "CCYYMMDDThh:mm:ss" (see below). This element is REQUIRED in an IQ result.</li>
<li>&lt;tz/&gt; -- The time zone in which the responding entity is located. This can be either a three-letter acronym or the full natural-language name of the timezone. <note>A list of time zone names and abbreviations is located at &lt;<link url='http://www.timeanddate.com/library/abbreviations/timezones/'>http://www.timeanddate.com/library/abbreviations/timezones/</link>&gt;.</note> This element is OPTIONAL in an IQ result.</li>
<li>&lt;display/&gt; -- The time in a human-readable format. This element is OPTIONAL in an IQ result.</li>
</ul>

<section1 topic='A Note on Time Formats'>
<p>&xep0082; defines the lexical representation of dates, times, and datetimes in Jabber protocols. Unfortunately, the 'jabber:iq:time' namespace predates that definition, and uses a datetime format ("CCYYMMDDThh:mm:ss") that is inconsistent with XEP-0082 and &w3xmlschema2;. Because a large base of deployed software uses the old format, this document specifies that applications using 'jabber:iq:time' SHOULD use the old format, not the format defined in XEP-0082. In addition, note well that the datetime provided in the &lt;utc/&gt; element is explicitly UTC and therefore SHOULD NOT include the ending 'Z' character required by &iso8601;.</p>
