Yes, it is. Thank you very much for your feedback!

Both RHS XEPs are Deferred, and I'm not sure what their actual state and
practical relevance is. I can add them to §3, if there are voices from
the floor about following up with their implementation.

I'd rather have such a note in XEP-0234, if it isn't there already (it
mandates IBB already, BTW, so technically 0261 does not need to be
mentioned in the CS).

I see your intent, but in the long term, I'm not sure how many E2EE XEPs
we can put into the CS. OMEMO so far is the one with the widest adoption
(despite having some serious shortcomings in the spec), and I'm not keen
on adding every possible E2EE approach (if I were, there would be
another one I'm working on high up on the list ;-) )

That was mainly a reminder for me to put into place all the MIX XEPs, as
there is a bunch, and I wrote that in a hurry.

Eventually, there should be an encryption subsection in §2. I'll try to
make a better structured subsection in §3 as soon as I find the time.

I was actually surprised to see it not mentioned at all in previous
versions of the CS. As a person coming from IRC, this is one of the
most-used commands for me, so I felt it would be natural to have it.
This is mainly about consistency between clients. Furthermore, it's
very straight-forward to implement, so not a high burden on the
developers, which is why I consider it Core.
