Hi,
Indeed this draft provides more detailed information. It's great :)
I like the new text on ANONYMOUS as well.
I think it would be useful to make a similar draft for PLAIN method,
the core xmpp RFC only explaining the digest-md5 method.
I think we need to be careful about describing handling of each SASL
mechanism, as this defeats the purpose of having generic SASL libraries
that support multiple authentication mechanisms.
While I agree that ANONYMOUS and PLAIN are a bit special, we need to
have a criteria on which mechanisms should deserve own XEPs. If there
are issues with how some SASL mechanisms are described, which are not
specific to XMPP, then the IETF SASL WG needs to be notified.
