+1, this is the standard vCard protocol. The fact that the target is a MUC is just a detail. The target could be a host (jabber.org or conference.jabber.org) itself, or pretty much any JID. It should work as long as the sender has the privileges (is a server admin, room owner, etc). I would like the vCard XEP (section 3.2: Updating One's vCard) to explicitly allow authorized entities to update vCards of other entities. > A conference MUST check if the sender is really owner and set the vcard ;) > If the vcard contains PHOTO element, sha1 SHOULD be calculated and SHOULD be > provided in every presence sent from bare JID of the conference.

It may make sense to not include the MUC child element in that presence stanza. This works if the user e.g., adds the room in their roster, but not otherwise. > What do you think of it?

It's simply the logical connection between two basic XMPP building blocks (MUC and vCards), so it should implicitly be assumed to work. -- Waqas Hussain
