This thread seems to have died down, so time to revive it, given that it is in last call.
This was my understanding of the opinions on this XEP: - Showing the different type of icons per-status is not something people want to implement in clients. The only use I see is for this might be transports, although I still think most clients even want this to be implemented on their side, for better consistency with the rest of the UI look. - Some clients implement the per-client logo avatar, so the logo sounds useful to at least these clients. - There's a security issue with OOB images that at least needs to be documented. Documenting is probably not enough, because I don't see a client displaying client icons asking the user for every type of client whether he wants to fetch the icon (which is different than with 'occasional' OOB requests that need to be acknowledged). There was a suggestion of mediated BoB solutions, which IMO makes sense because it removes the burden of security checks off the clients, and most clients will request the same images anyway. cheers, Remko
