Presence and IntComm WG

[Jeremy George <>]

  Jonathan Rosenberg has a couple of I-Ds available that appear
interesting.  The first is higher level (e.g. definitions, concepts,
etc.).  The latter is lower level - syntax and such.

  Some of the value we might be looking for _could_ come from the
simplest of solutions to ongoing irritations.  Take this clip from
section 3.6 for example:

  "Because the presence document serves to help a user to choose and
   establish communications, the presentity URI - as the index to that
   document - represents a form of "one-number" communications.
   Starting from this URI, all of the communications modalities and
   their URI for a user can be discovered, and then used to invoke a
   particular communications service.  Rather than having to give out a
   separate phone number, email address, IM address, VoIP address, and
   so on, the presentity URI can be provided, and all of the others can
   be learned from there."
