This is I think something important. I already has the idea. This would not be usefull only to change a particular implementation, but also to move a virtual host from one server to another. Anyway, in the requirements, I read: > The data is stored in a single file. You already seen this is probably not a good idea. A directory tree could work. And for convenience, it could be tar.gz > All user data is stored, but no server configuration data. It could be usefull as well to contains configuration data. Those which are implementation specific could be placed into some namespaces. If we find some config data which are common to every implementation, they could be placed as it. > <user name='juliet' password='s3crEt'> I don't know if it's a good idea to store the password in plain text. Some server could even not store the password in plaintext internally. That field should be facilitative, and eventually be possible to store the password hash. The problem is that user will loose their password so this is not good Also, there are many xep and future xep that are not in that format. So it should be trivial to add new namespace in the format on later XEP publications. (i think for example to message archive, ...)
