Tying all this into bind2 was my original intention. So we don’t need to 
rewrite any core protocol, or have a new stream version, or anything like that. 
Just that if you use bind2 (which probably should be bundled into sasl2), you 
get “XMPP 2.0” behaviour.

Possibly. The important thing, I think, is that we don’t have a situation where 
someone can make archives contain different messages from those the user saw.

I meant that (although I think long-term it should go away), we need iq 
resource locking for the moment, for some things. I’m suggesting we could limit 
resource locking to only affect iqs, and all chat messages can/should be sent 
bare-JID (that is, I think we’re largely in agreement).

I had hoped we’d have moved faster towards the ‘right’ solution, yes.

I can’t argue with this.
