If I can make a suggestion: I would look back at the room logs for the JDEV conference room over the last week, where there has been many discussions on this topic looking at many different angles, including a whole evenings worth. Adam Theo (theoretic.com) has also set up a wiki page discussing this. I'm noticing some of your ideas are going to get slammed from other discussions i've been involved it, and it might be best to make sure you are aware of all the other things that have been said.
My personal oppinion is that this should be client side only, with the client doing any of the clever manipulation, as the client knows what protocol the end user will be using, and I feel that transports should be simple routers which take a message, encapsulate it in whichever protocol is necessary, and send it on to the end client. If you want to come up with some special scheme which will work between jabber end clients, then fine - just don't then force this scheme onto messages intended for non-jabber users, as it will be the transport writers and maintainers who get slated with all the emails about how transport xyz isn't working as 'it should do' (a purely relative statement) Regards, David --- David Sutton / Peregrine jid: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.jabber.org/listinfo/jdev
