You are probably right, but my ideas about mamsub so far involve
changing the routing behavior for messages, including for offline
message delivery, so bundling all of that into a new session type that
doesn't attempt to send you offline messages, carbons or somesuch makes
sense in my eyes.

I'm not particularly attached to <no-archive/>, I'd rather prefer
<transient/> or some other semantic hint unrelated to the storage tech
below.

Very good point. With <transient/>, a client could also alternatively
display that this message will vanish very soon.

Resource-locking for messages is incompatible with my proposal. Are you
suggesting there are reasons to keep it, or do you propose to limit it
to IQs right now?

+1

I have to admit that blocking my last proposals to "improve" the Carbons
rules was good indeed. Still, Carbons exists since 2010, and we are
living with the weasel words and their fallout for all this time
already, and this is causing many minor frustrations to many people
along the way.

It is reasonable to figure out how to do things right after initially
publishing an XEP, but we shouldn't need so many years for that every
time.
