The XMPP Extensions Editor has received a proposal for a new XEP. Title: OutOfBand Stream Data
Abstract: This specification defines how to send parts of an XML stream over a direct connection between peers. This allows to send large stanzas or binary data without blocking the XML stream for other stanzas. URL: http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/outofband.html The XMPP Council will decide at its next meeting whether to accept this proposal as an official XEP.
