<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
  <p>Traditionally, &xep0045; has used numerical status codes similar to those used in HTTP and SMTP. Numerical codes were deprecated in the core of XMPP by &rfc3920; and are no longer even defined in the core schemas provided in &rfc6120; (see also &xep0086;). In an effort to modernize the Multi-User Chat (MUC) protocol, this document defines an extensible format for status conditions in MUC.</p>
</section1>

<section1 topic='Format' anchor='format'>
  <p>XML elements describing status conditions defined by this specification SHALL be qualified by the 'urn:xmpp:muc:conditions:1' namespace.</p>
  <p>The structure is as follows:</p>
  <code><![CDATA[
<status xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#user'>
  <DEFINED-CONDITION>
    [<text xml:lang='langcode'>OPTIONAL descriptive text</text>]
    [OPTIONAL application-specific condition element]
  </DEFINED-CONDITION>
  [<DEFINED-CONDITION/>]
  [OPTIONAL application-specific condition element or elements]
</status>
]]></code>
  <p>That is, any &lt;status/&gt; element qualified by the existing http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#user' namespace (from XEP-0045) MAY contain one or more condition elements defined in this document (each of which MAY contain a human-readable &lt;text/&gt; element and MAY contain an application-specific condition element) and MAY contain one or more application-specific condition elements.</p>
  <p>An example follows.</p>
  <example caption="Service Sends New Occupant's Presence to New Occupant"><![CDATA[
<presence
    from='coven@chat.shakespeare.lit/thirdwitch'
    id='n13mt3l'
    to='hag66@shakespeare.lit/pda'>
  <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#user'>
    <item affiliation='member' role='participant'/>
    <status code='100'>
      <realjid-public xmlns='urn:xmpp:muc:conditions:1'/>
    </status>
    <status code='110'>
      <self-presence xmlns='urn:xmpp:muc:conditions:1'/>
    </status>
  </x>
