So here's a link to everything that is in the spec currently: http://stomp.codehaus.org/Protocol It's a WIKI so you can edit it and improve the spec. I think that a the big missing piece in the spec is that there is no specification of how STOMP messages get mapped to JMS messages. Since this is missing, there is no provider independent way of sending JMS messages from STOMP. Since every implementation could map a STOMP message to JMS messages differently. I think we need to add a "STOMP Message to JMS Message Mapping" section that providers SHOULD comply with if the provider also implements a JMS interface. The great part is since this is missing, you can make this whatever you want!
Appendix, not part of the spec itself. If for no other reason than ActiveMQ will not be compliant as the current hackjob I implemented and we are now discussing how to fix is definitely not spec-worthy =)
Once we have a few implementations and people have worked with it we can consider moving it from appendix into stomp 1.1 proper. Enshrining one technique now would be like enshrining a set of rules for O/R mapping eight years ago.
