A user is not a chatroom. A chatroom is something where users join and leave and send messages to that are received by other currently joined users in the room. I have never heard of someone suggesting that a user is a chatroom or a user's personal JID is a chatroom JID or anything like this. In no other context we have previously understood user JIDs as groupchat chatrooms. > and bookmarking 1:1 chats doesn't violate anything the XEP already > requires an implementation to deal with (namely, that the groupchat > may use > a protocol other than MUC). This is not true. A valid client may be assuming it's a MUC (again: the XEP clearly says that client's can just assume it's a MUC, they just must be able to handle if it is not) and if it can't join the room using the MUC protocol, it must assume it's a chat room that uses any other groupchat protocol. If we don't specify that traditional direct XMPP IM is a groupchat protocol (which again, I strongly think it isn't and if we do want to understand it as such, we should make it explicit), this means a valid client that only supports MUC and direct XMPP IM must assume that it doesn't support interaction with that JID at all, if it fails to join using the MUC protocol and may validly stop the user from sending direct XMPP IM messages to that JID. _______________________________________________ Standards mailing list -- standards@xmpp.org To unsubscribe send an email to standards-le...@xmpp.org
