+		Message Session Relay Protocol (MSRP) is a protocol for transmitting a
+		series of related instant messages in the context of a session. Message
+		sessions are treated like any other media stream when set up via a
+		rendezvous or session creation protocol such as the Session Initiation
+		Protocol (SIP).
+
+		A series of related instant messages between two or more parties can be
+		viewed as part of a "message session", that is, a conversational exchange
+		of messages with a definite beginning and end. This is in contrast to
+		individual messages each sent independently. Messaging schemes that track
+		only individual messages can be described as "page-mode" messaging,
+		whereas messaging that is part of a "session" with a definite start and
+		end is called "session-mode" messaging.
+
+		Page-mode messaging is enabled in SIP via the SIP MESSAGE method, as
+		defined in RFC 3428. Session-mode messaging has a number of benefits
+		over page-mode messaging, however, such as explicit rendezvous, tighter
+		integration with other media-types, direct client-to-client operation,
+		and brokered privacy and security.
