Re: [Standards] roster schema

Yes, it is a good idea to define more granular errors for these
conditions. I'll try to add those to the -04 draft, since I will
probably submit the -03 draft today and won't have time to do this
(mostly today I'm just going to check for egregious errors). The reason
for the hurry is that there's an IETF deadline of first-thing Monday
morning to submit Internet-Drafts before IETF 69, missing that deadline
will mean the -03 drafts would not be published until after July 23 and
I'd like to get my updated documents out there before then so I can
gather feedback.
  


Cool

OK. It's not set in stone, it's set in wax (SHOULD not MUST). But I'm
not going to spend more time on this so I retract the recommendation
(not requirement) of limiting the size to 1024 characters or whatever.
  
One thing I was thinking of along these lines would be rather than set 
the sizes in this way regarding how clients would interact with the 
server, have a implementation guide for server developers to the 
recommended sizing for certain fields, not sure if the place for that 
would be in the RFC but it would help developers by letting them 
immediately see how they will need to likely size their databases 
without having to go out and look at other existing XMPP software to try 
and determine what others are doing first, just a thought.

Well, we've always needed an implementation guide. Probably one for
server developers and another for client developers. IMHO that would be
a great project for a few people to work on (perhaps after the next set
of RFCs is published, or concurrent with the RFC process). I don't think
all those implementation details belong in the RFCs, however.

We had a discussion [1] about ordering of items in the jdev room today
so I've made an adjustment [2] to clarify that as well.
