Hi.

I saw that the use-cases of XEP-0231 has been removed along with
the service discovery features.
I believe we just lost the service discovery on the way. But it
will be the same case as with XHTML-IM where the discovery is not
mandatory.

(E.g. you can't discover if you don't have a presence, it maybe
stored offine and you don't know the client features yet.)

I'm for putting the feature back if Peter agrees and for making the
discovery optional.
I think the service discovery features are best defined in the specs that use BoB, such as XHTML-IM and file transfer, which is why I
removed them from XEP-0231.

Ok, I didn't notice this change was intentional. What about a short
informational section when there's time for it?

Hmm. Do we really need those special service-discovery features? Perhaps all we need now is some text that says "don't include [only] cid: URIs unless the recipient supports BoB". The reason we had the disco features is that we didn't want to spam people with in-band binary unless they said that was OK, but now we're pretty much forcing you to send the cid: URI and then the recipient can decide if they want to retrieve the binary.
