Why not? It's not clear to me what the problem is. > I even think we should specify a fixed value for the node attribute. > such as node="jabber.org/caps-x" > So client that support the 1.3 version of the XEP still works. In 1.3 the nodes were things like: http://exodus.jabberstudio.org/caps http://psi-im.org/caps So essentially it was a special URL at the website of the client project or company. How exactly do 1.3 clients break if in 1.4+ the nodes are things like: http://code.google.com/p/exodus/#0.9.1 http://psi-im.org/#0.11 Again it's a special URL at the software website. The only potential problem is the inclusion of the '#' character, but we can change it (as we did before) to be ';' instead of '#'. In fact I think we should do that for backward compatibility. Hardcoding the node so that it is the same for all clients seems like a bad idea. > I consider that we recommend to use the version number in the node since > examples show it. Correct. That's what the Council decided before we published 1.4 Peter -- Peter Saint-Andre https://stpeter.im/
