> As each message is in a stream with a particular direction Well, not really. Clients usually generate IDs based on some simple algorithm, and don't take into account IDs from incoming messages. For example, 2 clients with a simple incrementing counter would give this:
C1->C2: (id=1) <body>hi there</body> C2->C1: (id=1) <body>hello</body><request-receipt/> C1->C2: (id=1) <request-received/> C1 sent two normal messages with id=1: the first one generated from the auto-incrementing number algorithm, the second one mirroring the message from the incoming message. > There has been a trend to remove batch features from specifications > lately, like in XEP-0060 (Publish-Subscribe).
