> XEP-0301 says that if it's implemented then it must be advertised, right? No, it doesn't say that. But I am thinking of adding that language, to reduce the odds of accessibility issues. It is also a technology useful to the mainstream, and I have a portion of hearing people say they'd use it with other hearing people from time to time -- whenever they felt in an unusually chatty mood but didn't want to use audio or video. (combining the discreetness/quietness of text messaging, with the advantages of real time conversation) Paul, of Cisco Systems, have commented XEP-0301 is not an "accessibility standard" itself, precisely because of its usefulness to the mainstream market too. However, it is also an accessibility concern, because it is also used in accessibility contexts. And thus, the requirement of advertising support, is pretty compelling -- at least a "strongly RECOMMENDED". Cheers Mark Rejhon
