At the risk of derailing the conversation, I think there are more nuanced options than these. Some considerations only apply to the Internet. Some others apply whenever you want interop with off the shelf software, which might be on (for want of a better description) a ‘private Internet’ - e.g. those things you need to support because that’s what the state of the art is you will very possibly still need to support in such cases, even though it’s not on the Internet Proper. Yes, there are also the ‘completely closed’ cases where you only use XMPP for the re-use of existing things, rather than for the interop, and these have different considerations. > Not that 0066 is just one example were this problem manifests itself. I think 66 has problems beyond just this, though, as the appropriate way to use it just isn’t documented that I can see. I don’t think it can be in a compliance suite as-is. /K _______________________________________________ Standards mailing list Info: https://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/standards Unsubscribe: standards-unsubscr...@xmpp.org _______________________________________________
