Council has Issued another Last Call on 0334¹ and I've been going over the feedback from the last Last Call. The Editor will start the Last Call next Monday. I think it received mostly positive feedback back then and I have no reason to believe it won’t pass Last Call this time. However I think you were right that the document should go into more detail regarding differences with AMP. Furthermore a little down the thread Dave had feedback wrt hints in Error messages: "I noted that messages of type error are explicitly called out in §4.4, however I think there needs to be a general rule that hints SHOULD be ignored in messages of type='error'. Possibly MUST. Errors are sometimes generated by bouncing the entire stanza, including original contents, back to the sender, and these original contents might include a hint; it seems sensible to always ignore these." that also sounds like a sensible addition to me. Maybe you have the time to make those changes before Last Call even starts (next Monday) Thank You cheers Daniel ¹: On February 8th 2023 _______________________________________________ Standards mailing list -- standards@xmpp.org To unsubscribe send an email to standards-le...@xmpp.org
