I strongly disagree. I think that sends a confusing message to developers. Perhaps, we should remove all the compression algorithm references XEP-138 and have it only specify the core approach. Then create new XEPs for specific implementations: ZLIB, LZW, EXI, etc That is analogous to how the

It should offer stream compression anyway since its own support for TLS compression doesn't help a lot if the connecting server doesn't support it or has it implemented otherwise. Like the openssl page said, compression is not described in the RFC so it's up to the implementations to deal with it a
