It's awkward usage of XML. I'd like to phase out such usages that cause people to react with "what were they thinking?". Standardizing on jabber:client for stanzas, regardless of the stream they are carried over, is the right move. > That aside, we cannot get rid of either: Right, we can't. At best, we could have text saying that on s2s connections the jabber:server namespace MUST be supported and the jabber:client namespace SHOULD be supported, with a note that almost all existing servers support just jabber:server. In reality this will mean everyone will continue to use jabber:server and no real change would have happened, but I don't know what else to suggest. -Justin
