<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
  <p>The &XSF; defines protocol suites for the purpose of compliance testing and software certification. This document specifies the XMPP Basic Server 2008 certification level.</p>
</section1>
<section1 topic='Definition' anchor='def'>
  <p>The XMPP Basic Server 2008 certification level is defined as follows:</p>
  <table caption='Required and Recommended Specifications'>
    <tr>
      <th>Specification</th>
      <th>Requirement Level</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td><strong>&rfc6120;</strong></td>
      <td>REQUIRED</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td><strong>&rfc6121;</strong></td>
      <td>REQUIRED</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td><strong>&xep0030;</strong></td>
      <td>REQUIRED</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td><strong>&xep0078;</strong></td>
      <td>RECOMMENDED *</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td><strong>&xep0086;</strong></td>
      <td>RECOMMENDED *</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td><strong>&xep0138;</strong></td>
      <td>RECOMMENDED</td>
    </tr>
  </table>
  <p>* Note: Support for XEP-0078 and XEP-0086 is recommended for backward compatibility only. It is likely that compliance definitions for future years will remove these recommendations.</p>
