We can add it to Strophe pretty easily as well. One thing that I didn't see mentioned in the spec is that there are restrictions on the length of GET requests, so the alternative script syntax actually suffers from quite a serious limitation. I'm pretty sure it would not work for many common things like getting avatars, etc. According to http://www.boutell.com/newfaq/misc/urllength.html the limit of IE is about 2k characters, which is too small for things without some changes in how XMPP does rosters and vcard avatars, etc. It would be nice if the XEP was updated to reflect these limitations. jack.
