I disagree with you on all points, in general. :-)

Yes, having these filled in is great, but the purpose of Experimental is to
work on the spec as much as the protocol itself, and I'm generally happy to
worry about mandatory sections later as long as I can understand the
general design and intent.

And this is the thing - getting work under the IPR policy is at the very
least as important as getting security considerations etc filled in, and
these have a tension between them.

I agree with you on all points, in general.

I did specifically not fill in some sections (such as Security Considerations) 
because I wasn’t sure about them yet. I thought it would be worthwhile to 
develop this section under the XSF IPR because frankly I’m sure I cannot cover 
it completely.

Yep, I should’ve just C that one.

Also true, I admit I was just lazy here.

There’s also (as an author) a trade-off to be made about how much attention to 
these "formal" sections to pay before even knowing whether it will be worth 
the effort ;).

Now I’d still like to hear comments about the contents of the thing itself, 
though.

kind regards,
Jonas

Thanks for the ProtoXEP submission.

FWIW I find it strange that we put a ProtoXEP up for a vote that has not 
filled all required sections. I know we have been lax about this 
regarding the "XML Schema" section of experimental XEPs, and I think 
this is perfectly fine and understandable. But I like to see every 
ProtoXEP have a filled-out "Security Considerations" section, as this 
demonstrates that the authors have, at least briefly, thought about 
security. XEP-0001 § 12 has some good advice on that section.


For the "IANA Considerations" sections, it is often enough to write

  This document requires no interaction with the Internet Assigned
  Numbers Authority (IANA)

if applicable.

And even though the XSF registrar position appears to be more or less 
vacant at the moment, it would be nice to have the according namespace 
and FORM_FIELD registration in the "XMPP Registrar Considerations" section.

The Council will decide in the next two weeks whether to accept this
