> We thought like you before, but we had to listen to our users. I wasn't saying you shouldn't put limits in your implementation; i was just saying i wouldn't put it in the protocol: not every XMPP application works like yours. Hence the recommendation.

You just say "This message has been edited", and assume people will not do silly things like this :-) Some clients can be smart and strike out parts of a conversation and replace them with other parts; it would be quite obvious that the message has changed in significant ways. Or, if you feel like a limitation is the only way of solving the problem, put in a limitation. Just don't force limits upon clients that can do fine without them. cheers, Remko
