Basically, you want to resurrect the <x/> roster items subelements that were implemented in jabberd14 and jabberd2? <item jid='u...@example.org' name='User'> <x xmlns='http://jajc.org/metacontact'> <name>Friend</name> </x> <x xmlns='http://jajc.org/avatar'> <id>Aixie3Suele2Xee1Lah1fohw</id> </x> </item> This usage was pushed out to XEP-0049 private data storage without respect to protests of the users of the clients that made extensive usage of this feature - ex. JAJC client. You are one of the authors of XEP-209 which phased metacontacts to private XML. Could you explain what had changed since, that you now favor the roster items eXtensions? -- Tomasz Sterna Instant Messaging & EDI Consultant Open Source Developer http://tomasz.sterna.tv/ http://www.xiaoka.com/
