Hello all,
I've submitted this PR about message replies:
https://github.com/xsf/xeps/pull/1251
1. It was missing a disco#feature that I added.
2. The XEP required ("MUST") that the quoted author is referenced with a
full JID, which I think makes sense in a groupchat context, but does not
accomplishes much in 1:1 chats, so I added:
In a 1:1 chat context, a bare jid MAY be used instead of a full jid.
3. The character counting for the fallback text in the example was wrong
(it did not count new lines). Also, because of the stanza "pretty
formatting", indent and 2 other newlines that should not be counted are
added, so I mentioned it in the text. This may not seem much, but
edhelas, deuill and I all had trouble getting our heads around how this
worked, so I believe this is helpful for implementators. "Explicit is
better than implicit", they say.
3. I also wanted to relax the constraint on the quoted author, ie, not
make the `to` attribute of the `<reply>` tag mandatory. I confess this
is in big part for self-centered reasons, since it's not always trivial
to retrieve or determine the "quoted gatewayed contact's JID". After OOB
discussion with marvin, we agreed to change my first iteration:
A client MAY omit the 'to' attribute
to
The <reply> element SHOULD have a 'to' attribute
It this last point is too controversial, I'm OK to remove it and will do
my best to enforce it in my bridge implementation. I do think the other
points are not controversial and make the XEP better overall.
Thanks in advance for you feedback.
Cheers,
-- Nicoco
