Title: An Extensible Markup Language (XML) Representation for Expressing Policy Capabilities

An important component of presence and location services is policy. Policy
systems allow the presentity or location target to grant access to specific
pieces of information to specific watchers or requestors. These policy
systems can be extremely simple, allowing a user to accept or block
requests based solely on the identity of the requestor, to extremely
complex, allowing for time based rules that grant or deny specific pieces
of information. Policy systems often support vendor proprietary features.
To allow for interoperability between clients which set such policies, and
servers which execute them, it is necessary for clients to be able to
determine the capabilities of the server to which it is connected. This
specification defines an Extensible Markup Language (XML) based format for
expressing such capabilities.
