Are you sure you are talking about the same XEP here? XEP-0447 says in its introduction: This is a reiteration on Stateless Inline Media Sharing (XEP-0385) [1] with some significant changes: - No focus on media, generic for every file type. - Body can be used for fallback. - Using File metadata element (XEP-0446) [2]. - Using XML for structured data instead of URIs when possible, adding further extensibility (like providing proper means of sharing encrypted files on http servers). - Not relying on underspecified usage of References (XEP-0372) [3].
Especially using the file metadata element seems like a better namespace reuse to me, no? It also is generic and can be used for all types of file, not just for media. That's a clear advantage compared to SIMS. -tmolitor
