Peter,

Quoting Peter Saint-Andre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

I think it is counter-intuitive.
Logic would hint that domain.com is exact match and @domain.com is a
wild match.
Similar with [EMAIL PROTECTED] is exact match and [EMAIL PROTECTED]/ is wild
match.

Yes, probably, but that would break current behavior for sure, while the
original approach seems to be less dangerous in this respect ... If
backward compatibility is not a problem, though, I personally would be
happy with either way of doing it.

Well, hmm, breaking backward-compatibility is not good, eh?

Yes, but don't forget that my original proposal was the opposite variant ;-)
(which, hopefully, should not cause serious problems with backward compatibility, but as Tomasz and you pointed out may be counter-intuitive for someone)

I suppose that for XEP-136 backward compatibility is not a problem - it's MUC where most likely it is.

... and we still have another option: attribute 'exactMatch', which is certainly backward-compatible ...

Good luck!                                     Alexander
