Here's a list of things we might talk about:
1. Recommendations regarding when to use the TCP binding and when
to use
the HTTP binding (BOSH).
2. Compression via TLS or XEP-0138 (use it!). Also binary XML as a
compression mechanism.
I've never been all that convinced about binary XML forms. They work
to a degree with the highly fixed XML in, for example, SyncML, and
they're pretty good at compressing individual stanza-like objects
over SMS for things like OMA EMN (Email Message Notification, or
something - I've long since forgotten what these acronyms stand for),
but for long-running streams I'm under the impression that studies
show it'll be outperformed.
So if you're a big fan of Binary XML formats, please bring along your
figures. :-)
3. Fast reconnect to avoid TLS+SASL+resource-binding packets.
Lots of work from mobile email (ie, Lemonade) is transferrable here.
It'd be really nice if Tony Finch was coming, since he could talk us
through QTLS and QUICKSTART - they're SMTP fast startup work he did a
while back. Very interesting, but didn't make it into the Lemonade
Profile itself.
4. ETags for roster-get (see XEP-0150, let's resurrect that).
(Om. Looks quite ugly, IMHO. I'll do a counter-proposal)
5. Advisability of presence-only connections (no roster-get, just
send
presence and whatever you receive is nice).
If you can optimize the roster fetch sufficiently, this really isn't
required.
Anything else?
Beer, obviously.
Dave.
