<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
|
|
<p>For ease-of-use in a Jabber client, it is desirable to have a way to store shortcuts to various services and resources (such as conference rooms and web pages) as "bookmarks" that can be displayed in the user's client. Several Jabber clients have already agreed on and implemented a method to provide this service; that informal agreement is documented and expanded upon in this document. In particular, we introduce the <storage/> element (qualified by the 'storage:bookmarks' namespace) as a container for this sort of this data. While bookmarks data can be stored using any XML storage mechanism, this document recommends one method that is specific to XMPP.</p>
|
|
</section1>
|
|
|
|
<section1 topic='Data Format' anchor='format'>
|
|
<p>A storage element qualified by the 'storage:bookmarks' namespace may contain a collection of child elements, each representing a bookmark to be displayed in a client. At present, only two sub-elements are defined: <conference/> for bookmarking of &xep0045; rooms and <url/> for bookmarking of web pages.</p>
|
|
<p>All child elements allow a 'name' attribute, which is the friendly name by which they will be displayed in the client. If an element lacks a 'name' attribute, the client SHOULD generate an appropriate substitution based on the other available data.</p>
|
|
<section2 topic='The conference element' anchor='format-conference'>
|
|
<p>A common use case is bookmarking of multi-user chat rooms. A room is bookmarked using the <conference/> child element. The syntax is as follows.</p>
|
|
<table caption='Syntax of conference element'>
|

|

<p>This bookmark would be displayed as 'Council of Oberon' and, if activated, would attempt to join the conference room 'council@conference.underhill.org' with nickname 'Puck'.</p>

|
|
<p>When the user chooses a URL bookmark, the client should launch an appropriate browser or load the URL directly in the client (if the client is a web-client or includes web browsing functionality).</p>

<example caption='An example of the url element'><![CDATA[

|
|
<p>This bookmark would be displayed in the client as 'Complete Works of Shakespeare' and would take the user to <<link url='http://the-tech.mit.edu/Shakespeare/'>http://the-tech.mit.edu/Shakespeare/</link>> when selected.</p>

<section1 topic='Storage' anchor='storage'>
|
|
<p>It is RECOMMENDED to use &xep0060; for data storage, specifically through the use of personal data nodes hosted at the user's virtual publish-subscribe service as described in &xep0223; and illustrated in the following sections.</p>
|
|
<p>Note: In the past, &xep0049; was the recommended method (see the archived version of this specification at <<link url='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/attic/xep-0048-1.0.html'>http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/attic/xep-0048-1.0.html</link>>). In addition, other methods could be used, such as HTTP or WebDAV.</p>

<p>Security considerations related to object persistent via publish-subscribe are described in XEP-0060 and <cite>XEP-0223</cite>.</p>
|
|
<p>Use of the <password/> child of the <conference/> element is NOT RECOMMENDED, since the password could be discovered by a third party, e.g. an eavesdropper (if channel encryption is not used) or a server administrator. However, the element MAY be used in suitably secure environments (e.g., where it is known that communications will not be sent over unencrypted channels and the server administrators are trusted). Clients SHOULD NOT default to storing passwords and MUST enable users to disable any password storage.</p>
