1.  Introduction

   This document introduces extensions for the Atom Publishing Protocol
   service document format for expressing metadata about the behaviors,
   functions and capabilities supported by an Atom Publishing Protocol
   server implementation.
   collection.


2.  Notational Conventions

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14, [RFC2119].

   This specification uses XML Namespaces [W3C.REC-xml-names-19990114]
   to uniquely identify XML element names.  It uses the following
   namespace prefix for the indicated namespace URI;

     "f": "http://purl.org/atompub/features/1.0"

   This specification uses terms from the XML Infoset
   [W3C.REC-xml-infoset-20040204].  However, this specification uses a
   shorthand; the phrase "Information Item" is omitted when naming
   Element Information Items.  Therefore, when this specification uses
   the terms "element" and "attribute" it is referring, respectively, to
   the Element and Attribute Information Items in Infoset terms.

   This specification uses the terms "atomUri" and
   "atomCommonAttributes" from the non-normative RELAX NG Compact schema
   included in [RFC4287].  Where used, these serve the same purpose and
   have the same meaning as their use in [RFC4287].

   Atom allows the use of IRIs [RFC3987].  Every URI [RFC3986] is also
   an IRI, so a URI may be used wherever below an IRI is named.  There
   are two special considerations: (1) when an IRI that is not also a
   URI is given for dereferencing, it MUST be mapped to a URI using the
   steps in Section 3.1 of [RFC3987] and (2) when an IRI is serving as
   an identifier, it MUST NOT be so mapped.

   Any element defined by this specification MAY have an xml:base
   attribute [W3C.REC-xmlbase-20010627].  When xml:base is used in an,
   it serves the function described in section 5.1.1 of [RFC3986],
   establishing the base URI (or IRI) for resolving any relative
   references found within the effective scope of the xml:base
   attribute.

   Any element defined by this specification MAY have an xml:lang
   attribute, whose content indicates the natural language for the

   element and its descendents.  The language context is only
   significant for elements and attributes declared to be "Language-
   Sensitive".  Requirements regarding the content and interpretation of
   xml:lang are specified in XML 1.0 [W3C.REC-xml-20040204], Section
   2.12.


3.  The 'f:feature' element

   A feature is an abstract behavior, function and capability supported
   by an Atom Publishing Protocol server. collection.  Examples of features that
   might be supported by an APP server include support for draft
   entries, scheduled publication of entries, use of a particular set of
   Atom format extensions, use of a particular authentication scheme,
   and so on.  The presence of a f:feature element in an app:collection
   element is an indication that the collection supports the feature
   specified and may require that a client wishing to use the endpoint
   use that feature.  Features are identified using permanent,
   universally unique IRI's.

     feature = element f:feature {
       atomCommonAttributes,
       attribute ref { atomUri },
       attribute required { 'yes' | 'no' }?,
       attribute href { atomUri }?,
       attribute label { text }?,
       (anyElement)*
     }

     anyElement = element * - f:* {
       (attribute * { text }
         | text
         | anyElement)*
     }

   The "ref" attribute specifies a globally unique IRI identifying a
   feature supported by a collection.  The value of the ref attribute
   MUST be compared on a case-sensitive, character-by-character basis.
   Relative references MUST NOT be used.

   A 'required' attribute value of "yes" indicates that clients MUST
   utilize the identified feature when interacting with the collection.
   A server MAY reject requests from clients that do not support or use
   the feature.  If not specified, the value is assumed to be "no".

   An optional 'href' attribute MAY be used to specify the URI of a
   human-readable description of the feature.  Relative references MAY
   be used.

   The optional 'label' attribute MAY be used to specify a human-
   readable label for the feature.  The value of the 'label' attribute
   is Language-Sensitive as defined by Section 2 of [RFC4287].

   The f:feature element MAY contain child elements and attributes other
   than those defined in this specification.  Such "foreign markup" are
   considered to be metadata applicable to the feature identified by the
   f:feature element.  Software agents MUST NOT stop processing or
   signal an error or change their behavior as a result of encountering
   such foreign markup.

   An app:collection element MAY contain zero or more f:feature elements
   but MUST NOT contain more than one with the same ref attribute value.
   The order in which f:feature elements appear within the app:
   collection element is insignificant.

   The f:feature element MAY contain attributes included as part of the
   atomCommonAttributes production defined by Section 2 of [RFC4287] or
   any update thereof.  When used on an f:feature element, such

   attributes serve the same purpose described in [RFC4287] or their
   corresponding specifications.

3.1.  Example

   The following is an example of a collection supporting one
   hypothetical required feature and a number of optional features.

    <service xmlns="...">
    <workspace title="My Atom Service">
      xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2007/app"
      xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"

          <atom:title>My Atom Collection</atom:title>
          <accept>application/atom+xml;type=entry</accept>
          <f:feature ref="http://purl.org/atom/app/drafts"
            ref="http://www.w3.org/2007/app/drafts" />
          <f:feature ref="http://purl.org/atom/app/xhtml-content"

            label="Google Login" required="yes" />
        </collection>
      </workspace>
    </app:server>


4.  Security Considerations

   Specific features supported by a collection may introduce security
   considerations and concerns beyond those discussed by the Atom
   Publishing Protocol and Atom Syndication Format specifications.
   Implementors must refer to the specifications and description of each
   feature to determine the security considerations relevant to each.


5.  IANA Considerations

5.1.  Registry of Atom Publishing Features

   The Registry of Atom Publishing Features is maintained by IANA and
   contains information about known features that can be supported by
   Atom Publishing Protocol implementations.  New assignments are
   subject to IESG approval, as outlined in [RFC2434].  Requests should
   be made by email to IANA, which will then forward the request to the
   IESG, requesting approval.  The request should use the following
   template:
