Folks, Matthew Miller and Joe Hildebrand's Carbons XEP has been unchanged for 18 months, and represents a useful and well-deployed protocol, implemented in most (if not all) of the mainstream servers.
Mobile and Desktop clients alike appear to implement this widely. I appreciate that the last Summit raised suggestions that it needed to do more, but it is not clear to me that the "more" cannot be phrased as a new XEP, and moreover that breaking compatibility given the deployment status is warranted. It is also not clear to me what, exactly, the "more" consists of. I have heard: - Reflection of messages to the source. - Addition of MAM identifiers. - Other types beyond 'chat'. Therefore I would like to suggest that this specification be advanced to match its de-facto state of Draft. Dave.
