That sounds right. BTW, over the summer I pinged Ian about potentially formalizing OTR at a standards body (I think the IETF is the right place, but opinions might differ). Now that I'm very close to finished with revisions to the base XMPP specs, I could free up some time to help with that. I'd love to see an RFC published about OTR so that we can further encourage more implementations. Peter -- Peter Saint-Andre https://stpeter.im/
