 Getting live state
 ------------------
 Once you know which rooms the client has previously interacted with, you need to
 listen for incoming events. This can be done like so::
 
-    curl -XGET "http://localhost:8080/_matrix/client/api/v1/events?access_token=QG15ZnJpZW5kOmxvY2FsaG9zdA...XKuGdVsovHmwMyDDvK&from=END"
+    curl -XGET "http://localhost:8008/_matrix/client/api/v1/events?access_token=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"
     
     {
         "chunk": [], 
-        "end": "215", 
-        "start": "215"
+        "end": "s39_18_0", 
+        "start": "s39_18_0"
     }
     
 This will block waiting for an incoming event, timing out after several seconds.
 Even if there are no new events (as in the example above), there will be some
 pagination stream response keys. The client should make subsequent requests 
-using the value of the ``"end"`` key (in this case ``215``) as the ``from`` 
-query parameter. This value should be stored so when the client reopens your app
-after a period of inactivity, you can resume from where you got up to in the 
-event stream. If it has been a long period of inactivity, there may be LOTS of 
-events waiting for the user. In this case, you may wish to get all state instead
-and then resume getting live state from a newer end token.
+using the value of the ``"end"`` key (in this case ``s39_18_0``) as the ``from`` 
+query parameter e.g. ``http://localhost:8008/_matrix/client/api/v1/events?access

 NB: The timeout can be changed by adding a ``timeout`` query parameter, which is
 in milliseconds. A timeout of 0 will not block.

 Matrix Specification
 ====================

- - Similar to intro paragraph from README.
- - Explaining the overall mission, what this spec describes...
- - "What is Matrix?"
- - Draw parallels with email?
+WARNING
+=======
+
+.. WARNING::
+  The Matrix specification is still very much evolving: the API is not yet frozen
+  and this document is in places incomplete, stale, and may contain security
+  issues. Needless to say, we have made every effort to highlight the problem
+  areas that we're aware of.
+
+  We're publishing it at this point because it's complete enough to be more than
+  useful and provide a canonical reference to how Matrix is evolving. Our end
+  goal is to mirror WHATWG's `Living Standard <http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/FAQ#What_does_.22Living_Standard.22_mean.3F>`_

+Introduction
+============
+
+Matrix is a new set of open APIs for open-federated Instant Messaging and VoIP
+functionality, designed to create and support a new global real-time
+communication ecosystem on the internet. This specification is the ongoing
+result of standardising the APIs used by the various components of the Matrix
+ecosystem to communicate with one another.
+
+The principles that Matrix attempts to follow are:
+
+ - Pragmatic Web-friendly APIs (i.e. JSON over REST)
+ - Keep It Simple & Stupid
+
+   + provide a simple architecture with minimal third-party dependencies.
+
+ - Fully open:
+
+   + Fully open federation - anyone should be able to participate in the global Matrix network
+   + Fully open standard - publicly documented standard with no IP or patent licensing encumbrances
+   + Fully open source reference implementation - liberally-licensed example implementations with no
+     IP or patent licensing encumbrances
+
+ - Empowering the end-user
+
+   + The user should be able to choose the server and clients they use
+   + The user should be control how private their communication is
+   + The user should know precisely where their data is stored
+
+ - Fully decentralised - no single points of control over conversations or the network as a whole
+ - Learning from history to avoid repeating it
+
+   + Trying to take the best aspects of XMPP, SIP, IRC, SMTP, IMAP and NNTP whilst trying to avoid their failings
+
+The functionality that Matrix provides includes:
+
+ - Creation and management of fully distributed chat rooms with no
+   single points of control or failure
+ - Eventually-consistent cryptographically secure synchronisation of room 
+   state across a global open network of federated servers and services
+ - Sending and receiving extensible messages in a room with (optional)
+   end-to-end encryption
+ - Extensible user management (inviting, joining, leaving, kicking, banning)
+   mediated by a power-level based user privilege system.
+ - Extensible room state management (room naming, aliasing, topics, bans)
+ - Extensible user profile management (avatars, displaynames, etc)
+ - Managing user accounts (registration, login, logout)
+ - Use of 3rd Party IDs (3PIDs) such as email addresses, phone numbers,
+   Facebook accounts to authenticate, identify and discover users on Matrix.
+ - Trusted federation of Identity servers for:
+
+   + Publishing user public keys for PKI
+   + Mapping of 3PIDs to Matrix IDs
+
+The end goal of Matrix is to be a ubiquitous messaging layer for synchronising
+arbitrary data between sets of people, devices and services - be that for instant
+messages, VoIP call setups, or any other objects that need to be reliably and
+persistently pushed from A to B in an interoperable and federated manner.

 It is typically responsible for multiple clients. "Federation" is the term used to describe the

 Identity
 --------
-- Identity in relation to 3PIDs. Discovery of users based on 3PIDs.

-- They govern the mapping of 3PIDs to user IDs and the creation of said mappings.
-- Not strictly required in order to communicate.
 
+Users in Matrix are identified via their user ID. However, existing ID namespaces can also
+be used in order to identify Matrix users. A Matrix "Identity" describes both the user ID
+and any other existing IDs from third party namespaces *linked* to their account.
+
+Matrix users can *link* third-party IDs (3PIDs) such as email addresses, social
+network accounts and phone numbers to their 
+user ID. Linking 3PIDs creates a mapping from a 3PID to a user ID. This mapping
+can then be used by other Matrix users in order to discover other users, according
+to a strict set of privacy permissions.
+
+In order to ensure that the mapping from 3PID to user ID is genuine, a globally federated
+cluster of trusted "Identity Servers" (IS) are used to perform authentication of the 3PID.
+Identity servers are also used to preserve the mapping indefinitely, by replicating the
+mappings across multiple ISes.
+
+Usage of an IS is not required in order for a client application to be part of 
+the Matrix ecosystem. However, by not using an IS, discovery of users is greatly
+impacted.

+low-bandwidth/low-roundtrip mobile usage.
+
+.. TODO

+
+For the default HTTP transport, all API calls use a Content-Type of ``application/json``.

 A user may decide to ban another user in a room. 'Banning' forces the target user
 to leave the room and prevents them from re-joining the room. A banned user will
 not be treated as a joined user, and so will not be able to send or receive events
 in the room. In order to ban someone, the user performing the ban MUST have the 
 required power level. To ban a user, a request should be made to 
-``/rooms/<room id>/ban`` with::
+|/rooms/<room_id>/ban|_ with::
 
   {
     "user_id": "<user id to ban"
     "reason": "string: <reason for the ban>"
   }
   
-Banning a user adjusts the banned member's membership state and adds their user ID to
-a ban list. The ban list state event is stored at TODO and looks like TODO. Like with
-other membership changes, a user can directly adjust the target member's state, but
-unless their name is added to the ban list, they will be able to re-join the room.
+Banning a user adjusts the banned member's membership state to ``ban`` and adjusts
+the power level of this event to a level higher than the banned person. Like 
+with other membership changes, a user can directly adjust the target member's 
+state, by making a request to ``/rooms/<room id>/state/m.room.member/<user id>``::
