I would like to know if there is a way to send a preview of a file (in most

cases, images) through the first stanza for the stream initiation.

 let's add a big "MUST NOT send preview to
entities that don't advertise support for this feature".

Agreed. Do we want a special feature for this? I think that's better than relying on support for the <data/> element (because maybe even if you support the <data/> element you don't want file previews).

Let's make it a separate feature. And after thinking a bit more: this really *is* a feature, not just a "negotiation flag". The fact that a client understands what <data/> element is doesn't necessarily mean it can display file preview - this is just a use case of <data/>. This makes me think that maybe current protoxep should be split into separate documents per use case.

Perhaps. But after all it is only a *proto-* XEP. ;-)
