Well, enabling and disabling has never been described by a XEP as far as I know. Enabling would just mean you support it, disabling you don't support it and ignore all code parts of the XEP's implementation. Doing so you wouldn't see the disco features which is the right way since there isn't an active PEP implementation available at the server. This is the same with components; you don't announce MUC or PubSub components in disco responses when the actual components aren't there. Tobias
