How this separate window would associate with a chat thread? Especially if chat and headline messages are stored in different histories. > > > IQ is simple. Message is complicated. > > uh, why? There's much more code involved in an IQ stanza than in a > message. IQ has a fixed clear structure. Its parsing usually performed by one routine, and to add support for some IQ namespace one can do something like the following (example from Tkabber): iq::register_handler set query http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0224.html#ns ::plugins::attention::react Message is a much more complicated object. But it's not a big deal to process a message instead of IQ. What I want from any protocol detail is a feedback. XMPP would be much nicer if any stanza required an acknowledgement. For now, messages and presences are thrown without an acknowledgement (except for an ugly presence usage in XEP-0045 AFAIK). So, I'd like to use them as seldom as possible. Only if using message is unavoidable it may be used. (If I could, I'd use IQ even for a regular messaging.) Though, if XMPP is for information which worth nothing then everyone may use anything he wants. Cheers! -- Sergei Golovan
