At the risk of derailing discussions or adding noise, it's worth noting
that not everyone's opinion of what is insecure is the same and varies by
context. I have worked with some XMPP systems where the connection method
doesn't involve TLS that I would consider pretty secure.

Service providers on the Internet will probably be fine with committing to
all this stuff, but we should (IMNSHO) continue to stop short of suggesting
to devs what their software needs to do by default (I think it's sensible
to suggest things that need to be supported).
