+--- 1.1) Scope
+
+    There are three types of messaging worth considering with Asterisk.
+
+        1) One-off messages outside of a call
+           (SMS, XMPP, SIP MESSAGE outside of a call, etc.)
+        2) One-off messages inside of a call
+           (IAX2 text frames, SIP MESSAGE within a call, etc.)
+        3) Session based messaging (SIP with MSRP, etc.)
+        4) Text streams associated with a call (SIP with T.140 RTP)
+
+    #2 and #4 already exist in Asterisk.  This proposal is limited in scope to
+adding support for #1.  #3 is explicitly outside of the scope of this proposal.
