Makes sense, I was only nitpicking a bit; it is after all only a recommendation XEP, but it’s kind of weird to build a client that fits "Advanced Client" with 2012 compliance suites but not even "Core Client" under 2016 suites. > That said, I take your point, and I don't want to exclude these > clients entirely either if we can come up with some sane language. I was only asking; if you feel it would complicate the XEP, then it’s not worth it, since not fulfilling the requirements for a profile doesn’t stop a client developer from doing anything. > > > Also I would replace in the specific sentence “Only one of the > > recommended providers must be implemented for compliance. ”, the use of > > “must”, with “needs to”.
