Thanks for sending your message. Unfortunately, I've only had time to

Right - true "read" receipts are impossible. But receipts are generally about
moving responsibility; hence XEP-0198 acks
move it to the next hop, XEP-0184 moves it to the client, and a read receipt
spec would move it to the user with an
explicit ack.
I suspect there's actually little practical advantage to most people above a simple
response of "OK", but in military and
other critical environments it could well be useful, since then a client, or
server, can see messages have been
acknowledged - or have been missed.
This might be useful for offline messages, where you typically don't have
an active conversation.
