Sure, no problem. One of the key design point of using XML as the definition of the Jabber protocol structure is that it avoids a huge amount of peripheral problems that other "text" based protocols have struggled with (SNMP, HTTP, etc.) especially things like encoding and charset support for non-ASCII, line breaks and space definitions, case-sensitivity, extensibility. I agree that the specific details should not be raised at the Jabber level precisely because those should have been ironed out at the lower level. This also explain my attitude w.r.t. XML conformance which may sounds pedantic, but really is intended to protect the Jabber community from problems that affected more or less seriously other text protocol implementations. yours, Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | Red Hat Network https://rhn.redhat.com/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] | libxml Gnome XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ http://veillard.com/ | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/ _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.jabber.org/listinfo/jdev
