So don't implement them in your TUI client. I added a footnote to clarify this, but even without it as I've said before, if you can't support it for technical reasons, then obviously you can't support it. We're not going to throw you in XMPP jail for missing a spec when it obviously can't be done in a sensible manner. > | - avatars consume network bandwidth > | - avatars are more of a cosmetic element than a functional one (not having > | them will not cause your messages to get lost in transmission) To create a user experience that's both interoperable and meets peoples expectations of what chat should look like, we need functional as well as cosmetic elements. > | - there are interop problems with file formats (some clients insist on > | using webp :-P ) As people have also said before: if a client isn't standards compliant, there's nothing we can do about that.

With MIX on the horizon, us pushing for PEP everywhere else, and "temp" in the name of the alternative, I just haven't felt the need to change it. > | I'd rather see 0198 and XEP-0184: Message Delivery Receipts as core > | features, before addressing avatars. I also don't see how these two things have anything to do with Avatars. However, if you'd like to discuss moving 0198 to core or adding 0184 as a separate discussion, that's fine. I'm not really sure where 0198 makes the most sense; I only put it in IM because I assumed there would be other use cases where it didn't make much sense (maybe IoT or something). —Sam _______________________________________________ Standards mailing list Info: https://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/standards Unsubscribe: standards-unsubscr...@xmpp.org _______________________________________________
