RFC 4479, "A Data Model for Presence", July 2006

Errata ID:2963
Status: Held for Document Update
Type: Technical
Publication Format(s) : TEXT
Reported By: Raphael Bossek
Date Reported: 2011-09-08
Held for Document Update by: Robert Sparks

Section 7.1. says:

<dm:deviceID>mac:8asd7d7d70</dm:deviceID>...<dm:deviceID>mac:8asd7d7d70</dm:deviceID>

It should say:

Replace both with<dm:deviceID>urn:uuid:698137d0-b395-11e0-aff2-0800200c9a66</dm:deviceID>

Notes:

As mentioned in Errata ID 2131 and 2962 a valid URN as defined in RFC3406: Uniform Resource Names (URN) Namespace Definition Mechanisms should be used for <dm:deviceID>. This is not the case for this example.
RFC 4479 in section 3.4. Device RECOMMENDS version 1 UUIDs for the <deviceID> element: "For devices with a MAC address, version 1 UUIDs are RECOMMENDED, as they result in a time-based identifier that makes use of the MAC address."

Section 3 says:

   It is central to this model that each attribute   is affiliated with the service, person, or device because they   describe that service, presentity, or device.  This is in contrast to   a model whereby the attributes are associated with the service,   presentity, or device because they were reported by that service,   presentity, or device.

It should say:

   It is central to this model that each attribute   is affiliated with the service, person, or device because they   describe that service, person, or device.  This is in contrast to   a model whereby the attributes are associated with the service,   person, or device because they were reported by that service,   person, or device.

Notes:

Regarding the definition from Section 2, on top of page 4 of the RFC,

Presentity: A presentity combines devices, services, and person
information for a complete picture of a user's presence status on
the network.

IMHO the term "presentity" should have been replaced by "person" to keep this text passage
consistent with the terminology introduced in Section 2.

Section 7.1 says:

   <presence xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf"    xmlns:dm="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:data-model"    xmlns:rp="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:rpid"    xmlns:caps="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:caps"    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

It should say:

   <presence xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf"    xmlns:dm="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:data-model"    xmlns:rp="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:rpid"    xmlns:caps="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:caps"    entity="pres:presentity@example.com">

Notes:

The entity attribute of the <presence> element is mandatory. It contains a URI that identifies the presentity.

The namespace prefix binding for "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" is not used in the example and need not appear.

Not corrected here: the example uses an undefined URI scheme, mac:, to identify a device.
