Indeed. I'm slightly concerned with stream uniqueness guarantees that that implies, though. What if you forward a message to someone else, or happen to request a stanza from your archive twice or whatever? I think we're probably already breaking that with various other cases and stanza ids though, so if we're happy doing it there do we need to worry about it here? (And if no, does mandating uuid make sense?) Not a hill for me to die on here. /K _______________________________________________ Standards mailing list Info: https://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/standards Unsubscribe: standards-unsubscr...@xmpp.org _______________________________________________
