1. Is this specification needed to fill gaps in the XMPP protocol stack or to clarify an existing protocol?
Yes - Real-time text is important for some applications and required for others (real time captioning). Regs are making it mandatory in some spheres. And XMPP should be able to be used in these applications. Has real impact in emergency situations for example. 2. Does the specification solve the problem stated in the introduction and requirements? Yes - very nicely. And allows people to choose messaging or Real-time text as they prefer or need. No forcing. No Religion. 3. Do you plan to implement this specification in your code? If not, why not? Yes - in several apps. For chat apps for new elderly users (where delays can be confusing), for emergencies, for communication agents. 4. Do you have any security concerns related to this specification? No 5. Is the specification accurate and clearly written? Yes Gregg -------------------------------------------------------- Gregg Vanderheiden Ph.D. Director Trace R&D Center and Professor Industrial & Systems Engineering and Biomedical Engineering University of Wisconsin-Madison Technical Director - Cloud4all Project - http://Cloud4all.info Co-Director, Raising the Floor - International - http://Raisingthefloor.org and the Global Public Inclusive Infrastructure Project - http://GPII.net
