Hi,

In example 4 there is already a `<fallback>` element.

Concerning setting the body to "/me retracted this message", using `/me` is a nice touch, but the rest doesn't make sense to me, since that is not the message being retracted, but rather a previous one, and non-supporting clients have no way of knowing which one that was. So I think it can only be something like "/me retracted a previous message, but it's unsupported by your client."

You can use both the fallback and a XEP-0308 <replace>, so that non XEP-0424-supporting (but XEP-0308-supporting) clients will effectively edit the deleted message. It works nicely in practice. However, this is not strictly legal by XEP-0308 if this is not the last message that was sent. Also, YMMV but retracting the last message that was sent is the most common use case, for me at least. ("oops, wrong chat" and "oops, what I just posted actually didn't make any sense, forget about it")

Example stanza:

<message type="chat" from="[email protected]/slidge" to="[email protected]"> <body>/me retracted this message</body> <active xmlns="http://jabber.org/protocol/chatstates"; /> <store xmlns="urn:xmpp:hints" /> <fallback xmlns="urn:xmpp:fallback:0" for="urn:xmpp:message-retract:1" /> <retract xmlns="urn:xmpp:message-retract:1" id="old_msg_id" /> <replace id='old_msg_id' xmlns='urn:xmpp:message-correct:0' /> </message>

I will be slightly more annoying to implement if we switch to using stanza-id 
instead of origin-id (since XEP-0308 requires message@id which is == origin-id 
most of the time).
