Is the specification accurate and clearly written? I noted that messages of type error are explicitly called out in ยง4.4, however I think there needs to be a general rule that hints SHOULD be ignored in messages of type='error'. Possibly MUST. Errors are sometimes generated by bouncing the entire stanza, including original contents, back to the sender, and these original contents might include a hint; it seems sensible to always ignore these. Potentially, one might include a "from" attribute to indicate which entity provided the hint, and so on - but this feels like it might be overkill, so I'm just floating this idea out rather than suggesting it ought to be in place. Finally, I think it's worth noting that XEP-0079 provides a framework for expressing mandatory rules, whereas the rules here are purely discretionary.
