I think it would be useful to have the XEP template contain the
“Usability Considerations” section with a block of text like this:

"REQUIRED if the XEP contains user interactions. This section can be
written during the 'Experimental' phase, when first implementations are
available."

My rationale is this: protocol designers will not always be good UX
designers. We should not put the burden of UX design on a person
submitting the XEP, but rather define it together with the client/server
developers during the initial implementation phase.
